Install Request: Amsterdam Modeling Suite: Install on Young for UCL Research Group [IN05990884] about rcps-buildscripts

[balston]

Installation on Young using the ccspapp account and group owned by the legams group.

cd /shared/ucl/apps
mkdir -p AMS
chgrp legams AMS
chmod o-rwx AMS
cd AMS
tar -xvf ~/Software/AMS/ams2023.101.pc64_linux.intelmpi.bin.tgz

[balston]

Checked that access from a normal user account (mine) is denied:

ls -l /shared/ucl/apps/AMS

gives:

ls: cannot open directory /shared/ucl/apps/AMS: Permission denied

success! Next step is to produce a module file.

[balston]

I've created and uploaded the module file ready for the next step which is to set up the license. Module file when AMS is licensed is:

module load ams/2023.101

[balston]

Work on this is blocked until Young's filestore is fixed and the cluster returned to service.

[balston]

To generate the info needed to be sent to SCM, need to do the following on a few nodes and the login nodes:

module load ams/2023.101
dirac check

and save the output.

[balston]

I've sent the request for a license file for AMS on Young to SCM. Details of. what was sent and to whom have been added as a note to the RemedyForce ticket.

[balston]

We now have a temporary license file for Young which will last until 2nd September as the person at SCM that Chem Eng were liaising with is on leave at the moment.

[balston]

The license file is now in:

/shared/ucl/apps/AMS/ams2023.101/license.txt

on Young. I'm now running the dirac check command on a number of nodes to see if it is picked up.

[balston]

Here's the output from running:

dirac check

I've checked a random sample of compute nodes and they all report similar to the above. I think the license is working but is currently restricted to Type C nodes only and will expire of 1st September.

[balston]

Requesters have been informed.

[balston]

User has confirmed that AMS is working on Young.

[balston]

AMS is working but their current project is complete. Waiting to see if they can get more funding.
