huygens.sara.nl (IBM Power6, Infiniband, ESSL)

Here you find information about the system http://huygens.supercomputer.nl/description/.

One should not use the systems defaul python, but load the python module:

$ module load python

Now, numpy and ASE can be installed in the standard way:

$ python setup.py install ...

In order to use gcc for parallel compilation of GPAW, set the environment variable MP_COMPILER:

$ export MP_COMPILER=gcc

Use the following customize.py:

libraries += ['xlf90_r', 'xlsmp', 'xlfmath', 'lapack', 'essl', 'xl']

library_dirs += ['/sara/sw/lapack/3.1.1/lib',
                 '/opt/ibmcmp/xlf/12.1/lib64/',
                 '/opt/ibmcmp/xlsmp/1.8/lib64/',
                ]

define_macros += [('GPAW_AIX', '1')]
define_macros += [('GPAW_NO_UNDERSCORE_BLAS', '1')]
define_macros += [('GPAW_NO_UNDERSCORE_LAPACK', '1')]
extra_compile_args += ['-std=c99']
mpicompiler = 'mpcc'
mpilinker = 'mpcc

Here is an example batch job script

# @ node = 1
# @ tasks_per_node = 4
#
# Loadleveler can send email, but for this job, we ask Loadleveler not
#     to send any email:
#
# @ notification = never
#
# Define the standard input, output and error for the job:
#
# @ input = /dev/null
# @ output = out.$(jobid)
# @ error = err.$(jobid)
#
# @ wall_clock_limit = 0:30:00
#
# @ job_type = parallel
#
# @ network.MPI = sn_all,not_shared,US
# @ queue
#

cd $HOME/gpaw-benchmarks/

export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/python/lib/python
export GPAW_SETUP_PATH=$HOME/gpaw-setups-0.4.2039
export GPAW_PYTHON=$HOME/python/bin/gpaw-python
$GPAW_PYTHON input.py

The batch jobs are submitted with llsubmit:

$ llsubmit job_file
