Batch Visualization on Andes ============================ It is best to work on ``andes.olcf.ornl.gov``. You will want to setup a new env for andes. We'll call it ``myenv``. You need to load python with anaconda support there: .. prompt:: bash module load python/3.7-anaconda3 then setup ``conda``: .. prompt:: bash conda init conda create --name myenv python=3.11 this will modify your `.bashrc`, adding code that is specific to andes. .. note:: The version of ``conda`` install on andes is very own, so it is best to install all other packages using pip in your new environment. .. note:: OLCF also has ``miniforge`` installed on Andes, although the documentation is out of date regarding that: https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/software/python/index.html To activate the environment, do: .. prompt:: bash source activate myenv You can then install yt from source: .. prompt:: bash git clone git@github.com:yt-project/yt cd yt pip install . Each time you log in, if you want to use this environment, you need to do: .. prompt:: bash source activate myenv Then you can run a python script that does visualization as with the following submission script:: #!/bin/bash #SBATCH -A ast106 #SBATCH -J plots #SBATCH -N 1 #SBATCH -t 2:00:00 cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR source activate myenv srun python vol-xrb-enuc.py flame_wave_1000Hz_25cm_smallplt203204 Here ``vol-xrb-enuc.py`` is the script with the ``yt`` code to make the visualization. This is then submitted to SLURM via ``sbatch``. .. note:: For very large plotfiles, it might run out of memory when doing the visualization. A solution is to use the ``gpu`` nodes on Andes, which have more memory. This is accomplished by adding ``#SBATCH -p gpu`` to the script.
