Building WEST

WEST executables can be compiled using the following script:

$ cat build_west.sh
#!/bin/bash

module unload cray-libsci
module load cray-python/3.6.5.3
export CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE=dynamic
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MKLROOT/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.0.128/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python/3.6.5.3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./configure MPIF90=ftn CC=cc CXX=CC --enable-openmp=yes --enable-parallel=yes --enable-shared=yes --with-scalapack=intel SCALAPACK_LIBS="${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_scalapack_lp64.so -Wl,--start-group ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_intel_lp64.so ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_intel_thread.so ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.so ${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64/libmkl_blacs_intelmpi_lp64.so -Wl,--end-group" FFLAGS=" -xMIC-AVX512 -qopenmp -align array64byte -fp-model fast=2 -no-prec-div -assume byterecl" --with-hdf5=no CFLAGS=" -xMIC-AVX512" LDFLAGS=" -shared-intel -qopenmp"

make pw -j 16

cd West
make conf PYT=python3 PYT_LDFLAGS="`python3-config --ldflags`"
make all

To use the script do:

$ bash build_west.sh

Running WEST Jobs

The following is an example executable script run_west.sh to run the wstat.x WEST executable on two nodes of Theta with 64 MPI ranks per node. The <project_name> must be replaced with an active project allocation.

$ cat run_west.sh
#!/bin/bash
#COBALT -n 2
#COBALT -t 00:20:00
#COBALT -q debug-cache-quad
#COBALT -A <project_name>
#COBALT -O WEST

MPIRANKS_PERNODE=64
MPIRANKS=$((COBALT_PARTSIZE * MPIRANKS_PERNODE))
NTHREADS=1
HT=1

module unload cray-libsci
module load cray-python/3.6.5.3
export CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE=dynamic
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MKLROOT/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.0.128/linux/compiler/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python/3.6.5.3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

echo "Running Cobalt Job $COBALT_JOBID."

export OMP_NUM_THREADS=$NTHREADS
aprun -n $MPIRANKS -N $MPIRANKS_PERNODE -cc depth -d $NTHREADS -j $HT ./wstat.x -i wstat.in &> wstat.out

Make the script executable:

$ chmod +x run_west.sh

Job submission is done with the following:

$ qsub run_west.sh
