Running FALL3D
A sample example is available under Example directory.
| Code Block |
|---|
cd Example
NPROC=160
mpirun -np $NPROC <MPI Flags> Fall3d.r8.x Example.inp 8 5 4 -nens 1
# Make sure the process grid matches with NPROC, i.e. 8 * 5 * 4 = 160 |
Tasks and Submissions
Input is related Mount St. Helens eruption, https://www.usgs.gov/media/videos/mount-st-helens-eruption-may-18-1980.

# Copy input from USB to a folder.
NPROC=160
mpirun -np $NPROC <MPI Flags> Fall3d.r8.x fall3d helens.inp 8 5 4
# Make sure the process grid matches with NPROC, i.e. 8 * 5 * 4 = 160 |
Try different processor grids for better performance.
For debugging or quick testing, you can decrease the duration of simulation by changing the below parameter in helens.inp but make sure to use the original value for the submission.

Running MILC
Input file and instructions are available at https://github.com/lattice/quda/wiki/Running-the-NERSC-MILC-Benchmarks
We will be using the medium benchmark,36x36x36x72.chklat for the competition.

Ignoring PCI device with non-16bit domain.
Pass --enable-32bits-pci-domain to configure to support such devices
(warning: it would break the library ABI, don't enable unless really needed).
