JURECA Deployment

Instructions for Deploying Software Stack

• Make sure SSH key from JURECA account is added to bbpcode and SSH config is in place:

$ cat ~/.ssh/config

Host bbpcode.epfl.ch
    HostName bbpcode.epfl.ch
    User GASPER_USERNAME

• Install simulation stack using script :

#!/bin/bash

# pass the argument of partition
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
    echo "Error : pass --cluster or --booster"
    exit 1
fi

module --force purge
module use /usr/local/software/jureca/OtherStages

system=

while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
    case $1 in
        -c | --cluster)         shift
                                system=cluster
                                module load Architecture/Haswell
                                module load Stages/2019a
                                module load Intel ParaStationMPI/5.2.2-1-mt
                                ;;
        -b | --booster )        system=booster
                                module load Architecture/KNL
                                module load Stages/2019a
                                module load Intel ParaStationMPI/5.2.2-1-mt
                                ;;
        * )                     echo "Error : --cluster or --booster"
                                exit 1
    esac
    shift
done

and invoke it as:

# or

$ bash -x hbp-cluster.sh --cluster  # for cluster partition

• Notify user for new deployed modules
