TCLB for clusters

Scripts for compilation and running of TCLB solver on HPC clusters

Introduction

The scripts are made to be general, but HPC clusters are very diverse. These scripts for now work on clusters with SLURM queue system.

Installation

Getting the source

git clone https://github.com/CFD-GO/TCLB.git
cd TCLB
git clone https://github.com/CFD-GO/TCLB_cluster.git p

Configuration

All the needed configuration and installation of R packages is done by:

p/config

Compilation

As compulation on the main node is discouraged on many clusters, you can run make in parallel on a node.

p/make d2q9

Running cases

To run cases you can use the run script:

p/run [model] [case.xml] [number of cores/gpus] [options for sbatch (optional)]

You can use the script from a different directory then TCLB main dir, so for instance:

cd /scratch/blarbla/blarbla/some_important_research/
~/TCLB/p/run d2q9 mycase.xml 48

Changeing options

You can change the default time (1h), name, etc by supplying additional options for sbatch like:

~/TCLB/p/run d2q9 mycase.xml 48 -J "new name" --time=24:00:00

Notifications

The scripts support getting PushBullet notifications based on: https://github.com/llaniewski/my.prompt

Cluster specific settings

In the cluster directory there are settings for specific clusters (like prometheus and magnus). The first line of each file is a bash comment with the pattern for hostname to match.

Contributing

If you want to add support for another cluster, please add another file in the cluster directory.
