Building Julia 0.4.5 on Comet
Get access to a compute node so that you have full memory and processing resources:
salloc -N 1 -t 120
Get Julia!
wget https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v0.4.5/julia-0.4.5-full.tar.gz
Unpack and switch into the directory
tar xvzf julia-0.4.5-full.tar.gz
cd julia-0.4.5
Configure the Make.user file (which does not exist, yet) so that we take
advantage of Intel's goodies:
USEICC = 1
USEIFC = 1
USE_INTEL_MKL = 1
USE_INTEL_MKL_FFT = 1
USE_INTEL_LIBM = 1
Figure out where ICC is hiding which icc
Load its compiler variables (e.g.):
source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.2.144/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
Make things (with many cores)!
make -j 24
Things stop working. Run make to get back to the error message.

Fix it:

Make things!

Things stop. Run make to figure out why.

Find Line 165. It looks like this:
#define REGION_PG_COUNT 16*8*4096 // 8G because virtual memory is cheap
make it look like this:
#define REGION_PG_COUNT 8*4096 // 8G because virtual memory is cheap (becomes 512MB)
Make things!
make -j 24
Victory!
