Tutorial for EinsteinToolkit dummy users

This description was thought to use in a Einstein Toolkit framework, then you need install Einstein Toolkit first. See also SIMFACTORY

Starting

1.- Go to you cluster allocations and follow the steps of oficial homepage. Copy and paste the line comands for "release version". Is not recomendable install in your laptop.

curl -kLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gridaphobe/CRL/ET_2016_11/GetComponents

chmod a+x GetComponents

./GetComponents --parallel https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/ET_2016_11/einsteintoolkit.th

2.- Follow the step described in section New Users

a) Configure the Simulation Factory.

simfactory/bin/sim setup
For me the results is (nano simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini)
user = osorio
email = osorio@th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de
allocation=
sourcebasedir = /home/astro/osorio
basedir = /home/astro/osorio/simulations
b) you can see the list of machine in which sometime Einsteins Toolkit has been runed tipying:

ls simfactory/mdb/optionlists/
nano simfactory/mdb/optionlists/loewe.cfg
Our group uses "loewe" and "supermuc*".
c) Compile Executable

./simfactory/bin/sim build --machine loewe --thornlist thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th

3.- Allocate for tests in LOEWE. Type this follow line to request short time in LOEWE, usually this is for run tests.

salloc -N 6 --mem-per-cpu=2500M --time 0:59:00 -p test
where "-N 2" is the number of nodes

4.- You need a directory to save your simulations, for LOEWE type:

mkdir /scratch/astro/$USER$/simulations/
cd /scratch/astro/$USER$/simulations/

5.- Run your simulation

srun -n 24 ~/Cactus/exe/cactus_sim "file".par 2>&1 |tee log.out

for example "srun -n 24 ~/Cactus/exe/cactus_sim Shocktube_ILGRMHD.par 2>&1 |tee log.out"
6.- Plotting your simulation

For see your numerical results go to /scratch/astro/$USER$/simulations/ and use your favorite visualisation program (i.e something like Paraview or VisIt)
