== Getting an account == New users have to ask the PIs (Eric Larour or Mathieu Morlighem) to request a NASA account for them if they don't have one already: - go to [https://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/portal/accounts] select option 3 ("I want to request a NASA identity for one of my new users") - provide the information requested Then, a NAS account has to be created by the new user: - go to [https://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/portal/accounts] select option 2 ("I want to request and account for myself") - provide the information requested using either GID = s5692 for Eric's group or GID = s1507 for Mathieu's group - the PI will receive an email to approve the request - All users must complete NASA-mandatory Basic IT Security Training (This year's training is called "FY21 CYBERSECURITY AND SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION AWARENESS COURSE"). - UCI IT Security officer: Josh Drummond jdrummon@uci.edu - JPL IT Security officer: Tomas Soderstrom Tomas.J.Soderstrom@jpl.nasa.gov == Password-less ssh == Follow the steps outlined here [http://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/support/kb/Setting-Up-SSH-Passthrough_232.html] == Environment == Since you will be using `bash`, add the following to your `~/.bashrc`: {{{ #ISSM export ISSM_DIR="/u/jbondzio/ISSM/trunk-jpl" source $ISSM_DIR/etc/environment.sh #Packages module load pkgsrc/2020Q4 module load comp-intel/2018.3.222 module load mpi-intel/2018.3.222 #Set compilers export CC="mpicc" export CXX="mpicxx" export F77="mpif77" }}} And replace `ISSM_DIR` with your actual trunk. ''Log out and log back in'' to apply this change. == Installing ISSM on Pleiades == '''Do NOT install mpich'''. We have to use the one provided by NAS. Pleiades will ''only'' be used to run the code, you will use your local machine for pre- and post- processing, you will never use Pleiades' copy of MATLAB. You can check out ISSM and install the following packages: - m1qn3 - PETSc (use `install-3.14-pleiades.sh` or newer) For documentation on the Pleiades cluster, see here: http://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/support/kb/ You will need to run the following command before configuring ISSM: {{{ #!sh cd $ISSM_DIR autoreconf -ivf }}} Use the following configuration script for ISSM (adapt to your needs): {{{ #!sh ./configure \ --prefix=$ISSM_DIR \ --enable-standalone-libraries \ --with-wrappers=no \ --with-m1qn3-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/m1qn3/install \ --with-metis-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-petsc-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-scalapack-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so" \ --with-mpi-include=" " \ --with-mpi-libflags=" -lmpi" \ --with-mkl-libflags="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm" \ --with-mumps-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-fortran-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/compiler/lib/intel64_lin/ -lifcore -lifport -lgfortran" \ --with-cxxoptflags="-O3 " \ --with-vendor="intel-pleiades-mpi" \ --enable-development }}} == Installing ISSM on Pleiades with Dakota == You will not need to remake PETSc and m1qn3, as long as you made them using the Intel MPI libraries and compilers, as described above. In `~/.bashrc`, change your loaded packages to remove pkgsrc (it loads an incompatible copy of Boost and needs to be removed in order to build Dakota): {{{ #Packages module load comp-intel/2018.3.222 module load mpi-intel/2018.3.222 }}} Then, ''log out and log back in'' and build the following external packages: - gsl, install-pleiades.sh - boost, install-1.55-pleiades.sh - dakota, install-6.2-pleiades.sh Finally, you will need to use the following configuration script (i.e. adding the "with" lines for dakota and boost): {{{ #/ ./configure \ --prefix=$ISSM_DIR \ --enable-standalone-libraries \ --with-wrappers=no \ --with-m1qn3-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/m1qn3/install \ --with-metis-dir=$PETSC_ROOT \ --with-petsc-dir=$PETSC_ROOT \ --with-scalapack-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so" \ --with-boost-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/boost/install \ --with-dakota-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/dakota/install \ --with-mpi-include=" " \ --with-mpi-libflags=" -lmpi" \ --with-mkl-libflags="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm" \ --with-mumps-dir=$PETSC_ROOT \ --with-fortran-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/compiler/lib/intel64_lin/ -lifcore -lifport -lgfortran" \ --with-cxxoptflags="-O3 " \ --with-vendor="intel-pleiades-mpi" \ --enable-development }}} Remember, you will need to run the following command before configuring ISSM: {{{ cd $ISSM_DIR autoreconf -ivf }}} Note, if you would like the capabilities of pkgsrc/2020Q4, including updated svn, make sure that you build dakota without that package loaded. Once you have ISSM compiled and installed with dakota, feel free to add back in to your `~/.bashrc`: {{{ #Packages module load pkgsrc/2020Q4 }}} NOTE: Refer to jenkins/pleiades-dakota for external packages and configuration updates that may not yet be listed here. == Installing ISSM on Pleiades with Solid Earth Capabilities == The required external packages and configuration of ISSM with Solid Earth capabilities is similar to building ISSM with Dakota. You will not need to remake PETSc and m1qn3, as long as you made them using the Intel MPI libraries and compilers, as described above. In `~/.bashrc`, change your loaded packages to remove pkgsrc (it loads an incompatible copy of Boost and needs to be removed in order to build Dakota): {{{ #Packages module load comp-intel/2018.3.222 module load mpi-intel/2018.3.222 }}} Then, ''log out and log back in'' and build the following external packages: - zlib, install-1.sh - hdf5, install-1-parallel.sh - gsl, install-pleiades.sh - boost, install-1.55-pleiades.sh - dakota, install-6.2-pleiades.sh - curl, install-7-linux.sh - netcdf, install-4.7-parallel.sh - sqlite, install.sh - proj, install-6.sh - gdal, install-3.sh - gshhg, install.sh - gmt, install-6-linux.sh - gmsh, install-4.sh Finally, you will need to use the following configuration script (i.e. adding the "with" lines for Dakota and Boost): {{{ #!sh ./configure \ --prefix=$ISSM_DIR \ --enable-development \ --enable-standalone-libraries \ --with-wrappers=no \ --with-vendor="intel-pleiades-mpi" \ --with-cxxoptflags="-O3 " \ --with-petsc-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install" \ --with-m1qn3-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/m1qn3/install" \ --with-boost-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/boost/install" \ --with-dakota-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/dakota/install" \ --with-gsl-dir=${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/gsl/install \ --with-mpi-include=" " \ --with-mpi-libflags=" -lmpi" \ --with-mkl-libflags="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm" \ --with-metis-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install" \ --with-parmetis-dir=${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-mumps-dir="${ISSM_DIR}/externalpackages/petsc/install" \ --with-scalapack-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so" \ --with-graphics-lib="/usr/lib64/libX11.so" \ --with-fortran-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/compiler/lib/intel64_lin/ -lifcore -lifport -lgfortran" \ }}} Again, you will need to run the following command before configuring ISSM: {{{ cd $ISSM_DIR autoreconf -ivf }}} NOTE: Refer to jenkins/pleiades-solid_earth for external packages and configuration updates that may not yet be listed here. == Installing ISSM on Pleiades with CoDiPack == You will need to build these additional external package: - gsl, install-pleiades.sh - medipack, install.sh - codipack, install.sh Your configuration script should look like this: {{{ #!sh ./configure \ --prefix=$ISSM_DIR \ --enable-standalone-libraries \ --with-wrappers=no \ --without-Love \ --without-Sealevelchange \ --without-kriging \ --with-m1qn3-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/m1qn3/install \ --with-metis-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-petsc-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-scalapack-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so" \ --with-mpi-include=" " \ --with-mpi-libflags=" -lmpi" \ --with-mkl-libflags="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm" \ --with-mumps-dir=$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install \ --with-fortran-lib="-L/nasa/intel/Compiler/2018.3.222/compilers_and_libraries_2018.3.222/linux/compiler/lib/intel64_lin/ -lifcore -lifport -lgfortran" \ --with-cxxoptflags="-g -O3 -diag-disable=2196 " \ --with-vendor="intel-pleiades-mpi" \ --with-gsl-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/gsl/install" \ --with-vendor="intel-pleiades" \ --with-codipack-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/codipack/install" \ --with-medipack-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/medipack/install" \ --enable-tape-alloc \ --enable-development #NOTE: The following is the old flag list, which does not work with the mpi compiler #--with-cxxoptflags="-g -O3 -diag-disable=2196 -axCORE-AVX2,AVX -xSSE4.2 " \ }}} You will get a lot of warnings while compiling (i.e. ''warning #2196: routine is both "inline" and "noinline"''), which can be ignored. == pfe_settings.m == You have to add a file in `$ISSM_DIR/src/m` titled `pfe_settings.m` (on the machine you wish to access Pleiades) with your personal settings: {{{ #!m cluster.login='mmorligh'; cluster.queue='devel'; cluster.codepath='/u/mmorligh/issm/trunk/bin'; cluster.executionpath='/nobackup/mmorligh/execution/'; cluster.grouplist='s5692'; cluster.port=1099; }}} use your username for the `login` and enter your code path and execution path. Be sure to create the final execution directory (mkdir) within the nobackup folder. These settings will be picked up automatically by matlab when you do `md.cluster=pfe()`. Make sure your module list includes scicon/app-tools, comp-intel/2018.3.222, and mpi-intel/2018.3.222. You can specify your own list of modules by adding to `pfe_settings.m`, for example: {{{ cluster.modules = {'comp-intel/2018.3.222' 'mpi-intel/2018.3.222' 'scicon/app-tools'}; }}} To determine your `grouplist`, on Pleiades run: {{{ %groups USERNAME }}} == Running jobs on Pleiades == On Pleiades, the more nodes and the longer the requested time, the more you will have to wait in the queue. So choose your settings wisely: {{{ #!m md.cluster=pfe('numnodes',8,'time',30,'processor','bro','queue','devel'); md.cluster.time=10; }}} to have a maximum job time of 10 minutes and 8 broadwell nodes. If the run lasts longer than 10 minutes, it will be killed and you will not be able to retrieve your results. Now if you want to check the status of your job and the queue you are using, use this command: {{{ #!sh qstat -u USERNAME }}} You can delete your job manually by typing: {{{ #!sh qdel JOBID }}} where JOBID is the ID of your job (indicated in the Matlab session). Matlab indicates too the directory of your job where you can find the files `JOBNAME.outlog` and `JOBNAME.errlog`. The outlog file contains the informations that would appear if you were running your job on your local machine and the errlog file contains the error information in case the job encounters an error. If you want to load results from the cluster manually (for example if you have an error due to an internet interruption), you find in the informations Matlab gave you `/home/srebuffi/trunk-jpl/execution//SOMETHING/JOBNAME.lock `, you copy the SOMETHING and you type in Matlab: {{{ #!m md=loadresultsfromcluster(md,'runtimename','SOMETHING'); }}}
