How to run Amsol on the IBM-SP nodes

Introduction

• load the Amsol module

  module load amsol

• launch the executeable

  qamsol [options] input_file

  where input_file is the Amsol input file and the options for the qamsol script are as follows: (default values in brackets)

  -h             prints the options menu
  -e [never]     email notification (options: end or never)
  -m [300mb]     specifies the amount of memory (append with mb of gb; ###mb)
  -n [winter]    specifies the type of node (options: night, winter)
  -r [yes]       specifies if the job should be run (options: no, yes)
  -t [5:00:00]   specifies the amount of wall clock time (format hh:mm:ss)
  -x [default]   the requested executable (options: default or big)
  

  The qamsolscript creates the LoadLeveler file input_file.ll, creates a temporary working directory for Amsol, and submits the job to the queue. If the -r flag has been set to "no" then the job will not be submitted; however the LoadLeveler script and the temporary working directory will still be created. The temporary working directory is removed when the calculation has finished.

• Examples:
  1. Print out the options menu for qamsol

     qamsol -h

• Run the Amsol job, h2o using the defaults; run on the winterhawk nodes with a maximum wall clock time of 5 hours and 300mb of memory.

  qamsol h2o

  The output file, h2o.out is created in the current working directory with the input file. The LoadLeveler script, h2o.ll is also placed in the same directory as the input file.
