Building the MOOSE framework in your $SCRATCH

   cd $SCRATCH
   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi
   $EBROOTMOOSE/install-moose.sh # get sources, update libmesh, finish build

This will download and build the MOOSE framework in $SCRATCH/moose. It runs a script called update_and_rebuild_libmesh.sh that takes 3-4 hours to build. After that, it will switch to the $SCRATCH/moose/test directory and run 'make' there to finish the build.

Testing your MOOSE framework

At this point, to do basic testing of your installation you can build the exercises.

   ml MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi # make sure module is loaded
   cd $SCRATCH/moose/examples
   make -j 4 # build

For instructions on the exercises see https://mooseframework.org/examples/index.html

Using your MOOSE framework

(this needs more work... see the MOOSE web page for more details after the framework is installed)

Now you can build your model with the moose framework. Do as follows.

1. Copy your module to /path/to/moose/modules

   cp -R /path/to/my_module /path/to/moose/modules

2. Make sure moose-dev-gcc-ompi is loaded

   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi  

3. Build your module

   cd /path/to/moose/modules/my_module
   make

Sample job scripts on Terra

Sample 1

   #!/bin/bash
   ##ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS; CHANGE WITH CAUTION
   #SBATCH --get-user-env=L       #Replicate login environment
   #SBATCH -J moose-sample1       #Set the job name to "moose-sample1"
   #SBATCH -t 1:00:00             #Set the wall clock limit to 1hr 
   #SBATCH -N 20                  #Request 20 node
   #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=28   #Request 28 tasks per node
   #SBATCH --mem=56G              #Request 56G per node
   #SBATCH -o moose-sample1.%j    #Send stdout/err to "Example1Out.[jobID]"
   
   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi
   mpirun /path/to/moose-opt -i moose.i

Sample 2 Use half of the cores per node such that each core can have 2G*2=4G memory to use. This is useful for models that need large amount of memory.

   #!/bin/bash
   ##ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS; CHANGE WITH CAUTION
   #SBATCH --get-user-env=L       #Replicate login environment   
   #SBATCH -J  moose-sample2      #Set the job name to "moose-sample2"
   #SBATCH -t 1:00:00             #Set the wall clock limit to 1hr 
   #SBATCH -N 20                  #Request 20 node
   #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=28   #Request 28 tasks per node
   #SBATCH --mem=56G              #Request 56G per node
   #SBATCH -o moose-sample2.%j    #Send stdout/err to "moose-sample2.[jobID]"
   
   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi
   mpirun -np 280 -npernode 14 /path/to/moose-opt -i moose.i

Sample job script on Ada

Sample 1

   #BSUB -J moose-sample1
   #BSUB -o moose-sample1.%J
   #BSUB -e error.%J
   #BSUB -L /bin/bash
   #BSUB -W 20:00
   #BSUB -n 400
   #BSUB -M 2700
   #BSUB -R "span[ptile=20]"
   #BSUB -R "rusage[mem=2700]"
   
   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi
   mpirun /path/to/moose-opt -i moose.i

Sample 2: Use half of the cores per node such that each core can have 2700x2=5400M memory to use. This is useful for models that need large amount of memory.

   #BSUB -J moose-sample2
   #BSUB -o moose-sample2.%J
   #BSUB -e error.%J
   #BSUB -L /bin/bash
   #BSUB -W 20:00
   #BSUB -n 400
   #BSUB -M 2700
   #BSUB -R "span[ptile=20]"
   #BSUB -R "rusage[mem=2700]"
   
   module load MOOSE/moose-dev-gcc-ompi
   mpirun -np 200 -npernode 10 /path/to/moose-opt -i moose.i
