Notes for using on Falcon

Paul Talbot edited this page Jul 17, 2018 · 3 revisions

When running RAVEN on INL HPC's falcon computer, follow the instructions for HPC installation.

In order to run qsub on falcon, a project needs to be specified with the clusterParameters node in RunInfo. This can be specified in an external xml in ~/.raven/default_runinfo.xml that is used every time. Example default_runinfo.xml:

<Simulation>
  <RunInfo>
    <clusterParameters>-P project</clusterParameters>
  </RunInfo>
</Simulation>

Put in your project in the file where it says project (such as neams, lwrs etc).

It is also possible to run RAVEN on HPC in iteractive mode; this can be performed by:

  • requiring the number of cores, number of cpus, walltime and memory, as an example:
qsub -I -l walltime=1:00:00 -l select=3:ncpus=24:mem=120gb  -P lwrs
  • run RAVEN Note that in this case the RAVEN input file does not contain any cluster information in the RunInfo section but only the mpi specification parameters
