igrmonty-osg

A simple setup for running a large number of igrmonty jobs on the Open Science Grid (OSG) using HTCondor.

Usage

This git repository is designed to be cloned to OSG connect as a run/work directory for both submitting a large OSG job and gathering the output.

It is recommended to place the output of your OSG jobs at your OSG connect home /home/<user>. Therefore, to start,

ssh <user>@login<ID>.osgconnect.net
mkdir -p runs
cd runs
git clone git@github.com:bhpire/igrmonty-osg.git Ma+0.94_w5_SED
cd Ma+0.94_w5_SED

All the scripts are placed inside bin/. The empty directories log/, and out/ will be used to stage OSG run logs and grmonty output.

It is recommended to place the (large) input of your OSG jobs at the public directory /public/<user>. I.e.,

ssh <user>@login<ID>.osgconnect.net
cd /public/<user>
mkdir -p eht/sgra/{bias,md5,rho0,Ma+0.94_w5}
cd eht/sgra
# Populate information tables in `bias/`, `md5/`, and `rho0/`
rsync -rav <supercomputer>:/GRMHD/snapshots/ Ma+0.94_w5/

Before submitting a job, one needs to copy a static linked grmonty binary to bin/

ssh <user>@login<ID>.osgconnect.net
mkdir -p src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/AFD-Illinois/igrmonty.git
cd igrmonty
# Change the default N_THBINS in `/model/iharm/model.h` to a larger number, e.g.,
# #define N_THBINS 18
# Edit `make` so that the CFLAGS line contains `-static`; e.g.,
# CFLAGS = -static -std=gnu99 -O3 -fopenmp -funroll-loops -Wall -Wextra
module load gsl hdf5
make

cd ~/runs/Ma+0.94_w5_SED
cp ~/src/igrmonty/grmonty bin

Also make sure that you update the md5sum of grmonty in bin/wrapper, e.g.,

 grmd5="22691ef253e109166acb1eb5d5ac1084"

You may also need to edit bin/pargen to generate the necessary parameter sets. Then, simply submit an OSG job by

bin/batches

bin/batches will create a table of input parameters of Condor and put it in par/BATCH.ALL. However, because at the EHT we are running a large number of jobs, they may exceed the maximum allowed jobs on your queue. Therefore, bin/batches also split par/BATCH.ALL into smaller files par/batch.p00, par/batch.p01, ... and try to submit each of them individually. Once a job is submitted successfully, it will be renamed as par/BATCH.D00. You may simply rerun bin/batches multiple times. Every time it will try to submit the last unsubmitted par/batch.pXX file.

bin/batches uses bin/submit under the hood, which is a standard Condor submission script starts with a hashbang directive to use the system condor_submit.

It uses bin/parget to get the list of parameters from the corresponding file in par/. These parameter sets are then passed to bin/wrapper on the worker machines as command line arguments. bin/wrapper will automatically generate a grmonty parameter file based on the arguments, and start grmonty with it.

All Condor logs, stdout, and stderr will be sent to log/. The parameter files, hotcross data, and spectrum output will be saved to out/. Their file names are transform according to the rules described in bin/submit.
