#  scp the tarball to the target resource and unpack it.
 +
#  cd into the directory and run ./configure --with-mpi --with-openmp

#  Use stat.pl and args_man to make an appropriate statistics run.  See args_man for a description of predicates.  Example:

Summer 2011 (draft)

Calendar: May 9th through August 19th

Events:

  • Undergraduate Petascale Institute @ NCSA - 29 May through 11 June (tentative)
  • Intermediate Parallel Programming and Distributed Computing workshop @ OU - 30 July through 6 August (tentative)

Projects:

  • LittleFe Build-out @ Earlham - n weeks of x people's time
  • New cluster assembly - n weeks of x people's time
  • Petascale project work - n weeks of x people's time

Personal Schedules:

  • Charlie: Out 3-12 June (beach),
  • Ivan:
  • Aaron:
  • Fitz:
  • Mobeen:
  • Brad:

Al-Salam/CCG Downtime tasks

  • LDAP Server migration from bs-new -> hopper
  • yum update over all nodes
  • Turn HT off
  • PVFS
  • PBS server on Hopper

How to use the PetaKit

  1. If you do not already have it, obtain the source for the PetaKit from the CVS repository on hopper (curriculum-modules/PetaKit).
  2. cd to the Subkits directory of PetaKit and run the area-subkit.sh to make an area subkit tarball or GalaxSee-subkit.sh to make a GalaxSee subkit tarball.
  3. scp the tarball to the target resource and unpack it.
  4. cd into the directory and run ./configure --with-mpi --with-openmp
  5. Use stat.pl and args_man to make an appropriate statistics run. See args_man for a description of predicates. Example:
perl -w stat.pl --program area --style serial,mpi,openmp,hybrid --scheduler lsf --user leemasa --problem_size 200000000000
--processes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-16-64 --repetitions 10 -m -tag Sooner-strongest-newest --mpirun mpirun.lsf --ppn 8

Modifying Programs for Use with PetaKit

Current To-Do

Date represents last meeting where we discussed the item

  • Brad's Graphing Tool (28/Feb/10)
 * Nice new functionality, see 
 * Waiting on clean data to finish multiple resource displays
 * Error bars for left and right y-axes with checkboxes for each
  • TeraGrid Runs (28/Feb/10)

In first box: Put initial of who is doing run

In second box: B = builds, R = runs, D = reports back to database, S = there is a good set of runs (10 per data point) for strong scaling in the database that appear on a graph, W = there is a good set of runs (10 per data point) for weak scaling in the database that appear on a graph

Area function, bounds, segment size or count sum of area for specified bounds sum
GalaxSee complete array of stars, bounds (which stars to compute) an array containing the computed stars construct a new array of stars and repeat for next time step
Matrix x Matrix n rows from Matrix A and n columns from Matrix B, location of rows and cols n resulting matrix position values, their location in results matrix construct new result array

Notes from May 21, 2009 Review

  • Combined Makefiles with defines to build on a particular platform
  • Write a driver script for GalaxSee ala the area under the curve script, consider combining
  • Schema
    • date, program_name, program_version, style, command line, compute_resource, NP, wall_time
  • Document the process from start to finish
  • Consider how we might iterate over e.g. number of stars, number of segments, etc.
  • Command line option to stat.pl that provides a Torque wrapper for the scripts.
  • Lint all code, consistent formatting
  • Install latest and greatest Intel compiler in /cluster/bobsced

BobSCEd Upgrade

Build a new image for BobSCEd:

  1. One of the Suse versions supported for Gaussian09 on EM64T [v11.1] - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3; SuSE Linux 9.3, 10.3, 11.1; or SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 (see G09 platform list) <-- CentOS 5.3 runs Gaussian binaries for RHEL ok
  2. Firmware update?
  3. C3 tools and configuration [v4.0.1]
  4. Ganglia and configuration [v3.1.2]
  5. PBS and configuration [v2.3.16]
  6. /cluster/bobsced local to bs0
  7. /cluster/... passed-through to compute nodes
  8. Large local scratch space on each node
  9. Gaussian09
  10. WebMO and configuration [v9.1] - Gamess, Gaussian, Mopac, Tinker
  11. Infiniband and configuration
  12. GNU toolchain with OpenMPI and MPICH [GCC v4.4.0], [OpenMPI v1.3.2] [MPICH v1.2.7p1]
  13. Intel toolchain with OpenMPI and native libraries
  14. Sage with do-dads (see Charlie)
  15. Systemimager for the client nodes?

Installed:

Fix the broken nodes.
