[Gate-users] run GATE by parallel computing?

[PONY＊ Janice]

Hello,
really thanks for everyone’s help, but it still have some problem.

When I run the command as follow: 
>gjs -n 10 -c openPBS -openPBSscript /home/gate/Progs/Gate/gate_v6.0_p01/cluster_tools/jobsplitter/script /home/gate/Progs/Gate/gate_v6.0_p01/examples/example_CT/CT_CsI/CsI.mac

It show error message: ./gjs: error while loading shared libraries: libgjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I had searched that someone also had this problem before, and I did their method. 
Command: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/gate/Progs/Gate/gate_v6.0_p01/cluster_tools/jobsplitter/tmp/Linux-g++/gjs
Unfortunately, it show error message again: ./gjs: error while loading shared libraries: libG4error_propagation.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How should I do? What is the command?

thank you!

Best Regards,
Janice

Hi Janice! 

gjs is the splitter, i.e. it will split your macros to distribute the job over the cluster. You use it with the following commands:

>gjs -n [number of nodes you want your simulation to run on] -c [cluster platform on which you will be running your simulation] [your macro file]

Replace everything in brackets [ ] with your own values.

Note that only certain cluster platforms are supported. They are: openmosix, condor, openPBS, and xgrid. In addition, I have added support for SGE (Sun Grid Engine) to my version of Gate. In the case of openPBS and condor, you'll need to provide a script. In this case, this additional option is needed:

>gjs -n [number of nodes you want your simulation to run on] -c [cluster platform on which you will be running your simulation] -openPBSscript [path to the script] [path to your macro file]

or

>gjs -n [number of nodes you want your simulation to run on] -c [cluster platform on which you will be running your simulation] -condorscript [path to the script] [path to your macro file]

For example:

gjs -n 10 -c openPBS -openPBSscript /somedir/script ./macro.mac


Usually (I think), this produces a file named *.submit, where * is the name of your macro. Just run the .submit file, and it will submit to the cluster. For example:

>./macro.submit


As for gjm: it's the file merger. It will merge the ROOT output of your simulation. However, you could use the hadd utility from ROOT for that. Notice that it ONLY supports the merging of ROOT files. It does not support any other output from Gate. If you use any other output than the ROOT output, you will be on your own to merge it (if needed).

I hope this helps!
Marc

  Hello,

  I have installed gjm and gjs, but how to run these two components?

  I am currently simulating a CT scan, and how to merge gjm and gjs.

  Actually, I had read this website Cluster Mode instructions, but I still don't know how to use ><

  please give me a hand!  than you very much


  Best Regards,
  Janice

  Hi,

  You can run GATE on clusters: http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.1:How_to_run_Gate

  Scroll down to "Cluster Mode" for instructions.


  Sincerely,
  Fares
