git clone https://github.com/thackray/coupler.git
Step 2: Initial set up and test run
After cloning a copy of the coupler, type this series of commands into the terminal to set up your coupler. You should be logged into the head node.
cd /your_directory/coupler/
ssh -Y <username>@svante2.mit.edu (ssh to a file server, here's how on Svante)
python setup.py (generates a bunch of subdirectories)
exit (exit the file server, go back to head node)
source startup.sh (grabs nodes to run coupled job)
python example.py (run job)
The following message will appear in your terminal when the test run is done:
All Done! Thanks for using coupler.py
As of 22 September 2015, example.py will run a 1-yr coupled PCB simulation with a passing frequency of 21 days on 13 cores. Because it's on 13 cores, it's slow. The default example.py takes 7 hours on Svante. When the job is running, the coupler spits a status update to the terminal window every 10 seconds. When the job is finished, you'll see the message, "Thanks for using the coupler!"
