|
Doing large runs of ShelfMC can be time intensive. However, if you have access to a computing cluster like Ruby or KingBee, where you are given a node
with multiple processors, ShelfMC runs can be optimized by utilizing all available processors on a node. The multithread_shelfmc.sh script automates
these runs for you. The script and instructions are attached below. |
Tue Apr 25 10:35:43 2017, Jude Rajasekera, ShelfMC Parameter Space Scan, Software  
|
These scripts allow you to do thousands of ShelfMC runs while varying certain parameters of your choice. As is, the attenuation length, reflection,
ice thickness, firn depth, station depth is varied over certain rages; in total, the whole Parameter Space Scan does 5250 runs on a cluster like Ruby or
KingBee. The scripts and instructions are attached below. |

|
Jacob Here, Just want to add how I got AnitaTools to see FFTW:
1) echo $FFTW3_HOME to find where the lib and include dir is.
2) Next add the following line to the start of cmake/modules/FindFFTW.cmake |

Thu May 11 14:38:10 2017, Sam Stafford, Sample OSC batch job setup, Software
|
Batch jobs on OSC are initiated through the Portable Batch System (PBS). This is the recommended way to run stuff on OSC clusters.
Attached is a sample PBS script that copies files to temporary storage on the OSC cluster (also recommended) and runs an analysis program.
Info on batch processing is at https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/batch-processing-at-osc. |

First, anyone not familiar with the command line should familiarize yourself with
it. It is the way we interact with computers through an interface called the terminal: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line

So, icemc has some needs (like Mathmore) and preferably root 6 that aren't installed on kingbeen and unity.
Here's what I did to get icecmc running on kingbee.

Sun Aug 26 19:23:57 2018, Brian Clark, Get a quick start with AraSim on OSC Oakley, Software
|
These are instructions I wrote for Rishabh Khandelwal to facilitate a "fast" start on Oakley at OSC. It was to help him run AraSim in batch
jobs on Oakley.
It basically has you use software dependencies that I pre-installed on my OSC account at /users/PAS0654/osu0673/PhasedArraySimulation. |
Thu Dec 13 17:33:54 2018, s prohira, parallel jobs on ruby, Software 
|
On ruby, users get charged for the full node, even if you aren't using all 20 cores, so it's a pain if you want to run a bunch of serial jobs.
There is, however, a thing called the 'parallel command processor' (pcp) which is provided on ruby, (https://www.osc.edu/resources/available_software/software_list/parallel_command_processor)
that makes it very simple. |

Attached is a set of slides on Getting Started with QC, a simulation monitoring project. It has instructions on getting started in using a terminal
window, and downloading, compiling and running AraSim, the simulation program for the ARA project. AraSim has moved from the SVN repository to github,
and so now you should be able to retrieve it, compile it using: |

|
In order to get PyROOT working for Python 3, you must build ROOT with a flag that specifies Python 3 in the installation. This method will create
a folder titled root-6.16.00 in your current directory, so organize things how you see fit. Then the steps are relatively
simple: |
Fri Jan 31 10:43:52 2020, Jorge Torres, Mounting ARA software on OSC through CernVM File System, Software
|
OSC added ARA's CVMFS repository on Pitzer and Owens. This has been already done in UW's cluster thanks to Ben Hokanson-Fasig and Brian Clark. With CVMFS,
all the dependencies are compiled and stored in a single folder (container), meaning that the user can just source the paths to the used environmental
variables and not worry about installing them at all. This is very useful, since it usually takes a considerable amount of time to get those dependencies |

|
Disclaimer: This might not be the best solution to this problem. I arrived here after a lot of googling and stumbling across this thread with a similar
problem for an unrelated project: https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xtensor-fftw/issues/52. If you're someone who actually knows cmake, maybe you have
a better solution. |
Mon Apr 24 11:51:42 2023, William Luszczak, PUEO simulation stack installation instructions, Software
|
These are instructions I put together as I was first figuring out how to compile PueoSim/NiceMC. This was originally done on machines running CentOS
7, however has since been replicated on the OSC machines (running RedHat 7.9 I think?). I generally try to avoid any `module load` type prerequisites,
instead opting to compile any dependencies from source. You _might_ be able to get this to work by `module load`ing e.g. fftw, but try this at your own |
