1st CSCS EasyBuild Workshop
-
Welcome/Intro -- G. Peretti
-
EasyBuild: building software with ease -- K. Hoste
-
EasyBuild 2.3 on Cray Linux Environment -- P. Forai
-
EasyBuild @ CSCS: Current status and roadmap -- G. Peretti
-
Approaching EasyBuild with an Intel toolchain -- L. Marsella
-
This VM is useful to who
- doesn't have access to Daint/Dora or
- wishes to test Lmod
-
/apps/common/tools/easybuild/EB230.ova (or here)
- contains Easybuild 2.3.0 + Lmod
- user/pass
- eb_lmod/eb_lmod
- Can be tested on Daint, Dora, Santis, Brisi, Pilatus, Castor, Monch
$ source /apps/common/easybuild/setup.sh $SCRATCH
- This will install your software under $SCRATCH/easybuild (you can choose another prefix and use as argument instead of $SCRATCH
- HPL on Daint using CrayGNU toolchain
$ eb HPL-2.1-CrayGNU-5.2.40.eb -r
This will (1) install the toolchain CrayGNU/5.2.40 (that wraps the PrgEnv) and (2) compile HPL/2.1.
- Check the logs and try to understand the compilation steps
- Which modules were loaded, variables set and compilation parameters
- Understanding EasyBuild logs
- You can enable debug logging by adding -d to the command line
- List all easyconfig files available for the toolchain CrayGNU version 5.2.40
$ eb -S CrayGNU-5.2.40
```
* Choose one file and build (with automatic dependency installation '-r')
* Full path can be omitted
```
$ eb YourApp-Cray-5.2.40.eb -r
```
or see the easyconfigs repository @ https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs
# Using non-cray toolchains on Daint/Dora
* Disable Cray experimental support on Daint/Dora
```
$ unset EASYBUILD_EXPERIMENTAL
$ unset EASYBUILD_OPTARCH
```
## Setup foss/2015b toolchain
### Build complete toolchain (will take a while)
```
$ eb foss-2015b.eb -r
```
### Use pre-built foss/2015b (DORA only)
```
$ module use $APPS/sandbox/eb_workshop
```
## Build app available from foss/2015b toolchain
* Find one and build
```
$ eb -S foss-2015b
$ eb app.eb -r
```
* Or, for example, you can just try HPL
```
$ eb HPL-2.1-foss-2015b.eb -r
```
