su-ahpcrc

The default settings for MPI will cause the code to use GCC rather than the Intel compilers. To change this:

• Ensure that nothing related has been added to your path in .bashrc and .bash_profile
• Run:

$ mpi-selector --query
default:mvapich2_intel-1.2
level:user

• If your result is something other than the above (version number may different), execute:

$ mpi-selector --set mvapich2_intel-1.2

• If not present, add the following to makefile.sys:

• Use a PBS script similar to the following (/opt/mpiexec/bin/mpiexec --comm=pmi is the only important difference):

#!/bin/bash
#PBS -N ParaDiS
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8,walltime=24:00:00
#PBS -V

### ---------------------------------------
### BEGINNING OF EXECUTION
### ---------------------------------------

echo The master node of this job is `hostname`
echo The working directory is `echo $PBS_O_WORKDIR`
echo This job runs on the following nodes:
echo `cat $PBS_NODEFILE`

ncpu=`cat $PBS_NODEFILE | wc -w`
echo "Number of processors = $ncpu "

### end of information preamble

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

echo $PWD

PARADIS_O_DIR="tests/fmm_8cpu_results"
mkdir -p $PARADIS_O_DIR
cmd="/opt/mpiexec/bin/mpiexec --comm=pmi -np $ncpu bin/paradis tests/fmm_8cpu.ctrl"
$cmd >& $PARADIS_O_DIR/paradis.log

• Submit the job using a command similar to:

$ qsub paradis.pbs
