Testsuite Machines

This page contains notes and instructions for people running the ET testsuites on various different machines. If you have experience running testsuites on a machine which is not listed here, please consider adding some information which might help others (or yourself!) in future.

General

To check out the ET:

 mkdir etrelease
 cd etrelease
 curl -O https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents 
 chmod a+x GetComponents
 ./GetComponents --root=. -a https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/trunk/einsteintoolkit.th
 cp udb.example.pm udb.pm

In udb.pm,

• Replace "redshift" with the name of your local machine, unless you are running on one of the supported machines.

• Replace YOUR_LOGIN, YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS and YOUR_ALLOCATION as appropriate.

• Set sourcebasedir for your local machine to be the directory containing etrelease (do not set it to etrelease itself).

• Set your username on each machine:

   set_option 'MACHINE'  , 'user', 'USERNAME';

See the machine-specific notes below for any additional steps for each machine.

 touch par/testsuite.par
 sim sync <machine>
 sim build --thornlist manifest/einsteintoolkit.th --scriptfile <machine>-testsuite.sh
 sim remote <machine> create-submit par/testsuite.par NSLOTS 6:00:00

This is a dummy parameter file.

When the job is finished, you should have the required <machine>_i_j.log files in machine:etrelease/*.log. The testsuite output will also be stored in machine:TEST_XXX, where XXX is constructed from the date at which the job was run.

Update the testsuite status page by adding the log files to the release-info repository:

 svn co https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/www/release-info
 cd release-info
 scp machine:etrelease/*.log .

Then commit the new/updated files.

To re-run the tests with an updated checkout, run the GetComponents command above with the --update flag, rebuild, delete the "testsuites" output simulation, and resubmit the job.

Machines

Kraken

Edit simfactory/mdb.pm

 -        myproxy-logon -p 7514 -s myproxy.teragrid.org -T -l @USER@ -o @SOURCEDIR@/.globus/proxy-teragrid
 +        myproxy-logon -p 7514 -s myproxy.teragrid.org -T -l <username> -o @SOURCEDIR@/.globus/proxy-teragrid

where <username> is your user name on Kraken. This is related to Ticket #381

Change the sourcebasedir in simfactory/udb.pm to be under /lustre/scratch. This is necessary because the Cactus directory must be visible from the compute node when running the tests (to see the parameter files, testsuite reference output and test.ccl files), and the home directory on Kraken is not visible from the compute nodes.

   set_option 'kraken', 'sourcebasedir', '/lustre/scratch/USERNAME';

Copy kraken.sh as kraken-testsuite.sh in simfactory/scriptfiles. Replace the aprun command with the following:

cd @SOURCEDIR@

export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_COMMAND="aprun -n \$nprocs -d 1 \$exe \$parfile"

test_dir=TEST_$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S)
mkdir $test_dir

CONFIGNAME=$(ls configs|tail) # SimFactory should provide the configuration name

for i in 1 2 3; do
  case $i in
    1 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=1
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1;;
    2 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=2
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1;;
    3 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=2
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2;;
  esac
  make $CONFIGNAME-testsuite PROMPT=no
  cp TEST/$CONFIGNAME/summary.log kraken__${CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS}_${OMP_NUM_THREADS}.log
  mv TEST $test_dir/TEST.$i
done

Datura

Copy datura.sh as datura-testsuite.sh in simfactory/scriptfiles. Replace the mpirun command with the following:

cd @SOURCEDIR@

test_dir=TEST_$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S)
mkdir $test_dir

CONFIGNAME=$(ls configs|tail) # SimFactory should provide the configuration name

export CACTUS_STARTTIME=$(date +%s)

for i in 1 2 3; do
  case $i in
    1 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=1
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1;;
    2 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=2
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1;;
    3 )
      export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS=2
      export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2;;
  esac
  export CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_COMMAND="${MPIDIR}/bin/mpirun -v --mca btl openib,self --mca mpi_leave_pinned 0 -np \$nprocs -npernode $CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS \$exe -L 3 \$parfile"
  make $CONFIGNAME-testsuite PROMPT=no
  cp TEST/$CONFIGNAME/summary.log datura__${CCTK_TESTSUITE_RUN_PROCESSORS}_${OMP_NUM_THREADS}.log
  mv TEST $test_dir/TEST.$i
done
