The page will help you to configure ADS to run EM simulation on DoE’s HPC cluster. There are many steps and they all need to be completed, properly for the sim to work.
Step 1.
Open your Workspace and then open the emSetup.
Step 2.
Start the Job Manager go View -> Hosts
Step 3.
Add pbsheadnode.doe.carleton.ca to cluster. You will be prompted to accept the ECDSA key, please do so by typing in yes. You will then be prompted for your password, please enter it. Now pbsheadnode should be listed under hostname with a linux_x86_64 Architecture
Step 4.
Now click Settings -> Preferences… Under the “General” tab please check “Shutdown down the eeofpvm backend when both ADS and EEof Job Manager have exited”. Leave the rest of the settings as the default.
Step 5.
Please fill in the Host configuration tab as seen below, please set your username properly and choose the version of ADS that you want to use.
