Running FIDASIM

Running FIDASIM is as easy as running

usage: ./fidasim namelist_file [num_threads]

Actually having FIDASIM produce something takes a bit of thought

The following settings will give a reasonable runtime.

  • 32 threads on a shared memory node (All calculations are done on a single node)
  • At least 2 GB of memory

Submitting to a clusters job schedular using submit_fidasim

submit_fidasim is a python routine that schedules a FIDASIM job on a cluster. For example

lstagner@computer:~$ submit_fidasim /u/lstagner/TEST

will submit any incomplete FIDASIM runs in the /u/lstagner/TEST directory. Alternatively

lstagner@computer:~$ submit_fidasim /u/lstagner/TEST/test_1a_inputs.dat

will submit just the test_1a FIDASIM run. Slurm and PBS resource managers are supported. Run submit_fidasim -h for the full documentation.
