COMSOL
COMSOL is
available on Kappa, Cloth and Matter.
Users affiliated with Linköpings universitet may use the
Univerity's site-license. Other users need to provide their own
licenses and contact support@nsc.liu.se to use COMSOL.
COMSOL batch script
NSC provides a basic batch script for running COMSOL jobs here
/software/apps/comsol/comsol-batch-script. Feel free to copy
and modify it if it does not have all the functionality that you
need.
HOWTO
Here is a very short step-by-step guide of how to submit a COMSOL job
using the provided script.
- Upload your COMSOL input file to the cluster.
- Load the COMSOL module:
$ module load comsol
- Submit a batch job. If your input file is named example.mph:
$ sbatch -t 5:0:0 -N1 /software/apps/comsol/comsol-batch-script example.mph
- -t 5:0:0 specifies a walltime of 5 hour, modify this as needed.
- -N1 specifies to run on one compute node. Modify this as needed, but please see warning below.
Using several nodes
Make sure that you test that you actually gain performance if you
decide to run COMSOL in parallel using several compute nodes.
Smaller COMSOL jobs may run faster on a single compute node. In this
case adding nodes will actually increase the walltime, and waste CPU
resources.
