Running jobs

TL;DR

Type

$ kima-run

to start running kima.

Using the kima-run script

This page assumes that you are using the pykima package.
With this package comes a handy script called kima-run which can be used to compile and run kima jobs.

This replaces the old (up to version 3) and boring combo

make
./run

The kima-run script can be used as is, and it will try to compile and run kima in the current directory, and using 4 threads by default.

There are also some extra options which can be provided to kima-run:

• to run the job in a different directory DIR use

  kima-run DIR
  

• to change the number of threads use -t N

• to run in the background (with less verbose output), use -b and possibly -o OUTPUT to define the name of the output file

• for extra quiet runs (no terminal output at all), use the -q option

• you can set a timeout, in seconds, after which the job will stop gracefully by using --timeout SEC

• use -c to just compile and don't run

• the argument -s SEED sets the random number seed, which can guarantee reproducible results
