Code Compilation

For code compilation you can choose one of the two compilers Intel or Gnu. Both compilers are able to include the Intel MPI library.

Intel compiler

MPI, intel

module load intel/2024.2
module load impi/2021.13
export I_MPI_CC=icx
mpiicc -Wl,-rpath,$LD_RUN_PATH -o hello.bin hello.c

MPI, OpenMP, intel

module load intel/2024.2
module load impi/2021.13
export I_MPI_CC=icx
mpiicc -qopenmp -Wl,-rpath,$LD_RUN_PATH -o hello.bin hello.c

Code execution

To execute your code you need to

have a binary (executable, model code), which is the result of code compilation,
create a slurm job script,
submit the slurm jobs script.

Job submission

blogin> sbatch myjobscipt.slurm
Submitted batch job 8028673
blogin> ls slurm-8028673.out
slurm-8028673.out

Slurm scripts for mpirun

A slurm script is submitted to the job scheduler slurm. It contains

the control about requested compute nodes and
commands to start your binary. Using mpirun (from the MPI library) to start the binary you need to switch off slurm binding by adding export SLURM_CPU_BIND=none.

MPI, full node

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --partition=cpu-clx:test
module load openmpi/gcc/5.0.3
export SLURM_CPU_BIND=none
mpirun -np 192 --map-by ppr:96:node ./hello.bin

MPI, half node

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --partition=cpu-clx:test
module load openmpi/gcc/5.0.3
export SLURM_CPU_BIND=none
mpirun -np 96 --map-by ppr:48:node ./hello.bin

MPI, OpenMP

You can run one code compiled with MPI and OpenMP. The examples cover the setup

2 nodes,
4 processes per node, 24 threads per process.

MPI, OpenMPI, full node

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --partition=cpu-clx:test
module load openmpi/gcc/5.0.3
export SLURM_CPU_BIND=none
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=24
mpirun -np 8 --map-by ppr:4:node:pe=24 ./hello.bin
