We recommend trying installation using Spack. These notes are left as a reference.

Firedrake on CX2.

CX2 is Imperial's SGI cluster. These are the instructions for building and running Firedrake on CX2.

Running

The following is a sample pbs script running the Helmholtz demo:

#!/bin/bash
# Job name
#PBS -N helmholtz_demo
# Time required in hh:mm:ss
#PBS -l walltime=00:02:00
# Resource requirements
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=4:mpiprocs=4:ompthreads=1:mem=15999Mb
# Files to contain standard error and standard output
#PBS -o stdout
#PBS -e stderr
# Mail notification
#PBS -m ae
#PBS -M [email protected]

echo Working Directory is $PBS_O_WORKDIR
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
rm -f stdout* stderr*
