KAUST SMC module files

Git would be an easy way to manage module files on KAUST clusters.

Cloning

• Clone this repo to your home directory either on your laptop or lthdevapps box
  • mkdir -p ~/git && cd ~/git && git clone https://gitlab.kaust.edu.sa/kaust-rc/modules-intel.git

Modify module files

• Create or modify any required file then do the following
  • Lets say that you added netcdf to libs
  • Don't forget to do a git pull to get latest updates

Testing

The following testing steps works if you cloned the repo to your cluster home

• Modify KAUST_MODULES_ROOT & MODULEPATH environment variables to match your repo
  • KAUST_MODULES_ROOT=~/git/modules-intel
  • MODULEPATH=$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/applications:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/compilers:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/libs:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/workstations
• If the tests passed successfully, commit and push your changes
• git commit -am "Adding netcdf libraries"
• git push

You can add the following functions to your .bashrc file to make the switch easy

tmode(){
    if [[ ! $TEST_MODE ]];then

        #backup old variables
        OLD_KAUST_MODULES_ROOT=$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT;
        OLD_MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH;
        OLD_PS1=$PS1;

        #setting new variables (change KAUST_MODULES_ROOT according to your cloned modules path and the used cluster)
        HOSTNAME=$(hostname -s)
        case "$HOSTNAME" in
            'lthdevapps' )
                KAUST_MODULES_ROOT=~/git/modules-intel;
                ;;
            *)
                echo "Couldn't determine development node!"
                exit 1
        esac

        MODULEPATH=$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/applications:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/compilers:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/libs:$KAUST_MODULES_ROOT/sets;
        PS1="$PS1\[\033[38;5;9m\]\[test mode\]\[$(tput sgr0)\] > ";
        TEST_MODE=1;
    else
        echo "You are using the test mode!"
    fi
}
pmode(){
    #
    if [[ $TEST_MODE ]]; then

        KAUST_MODULES_ROOT=$OLD_KAUST_MODULES_ROOT;
        MODULEPATH=$OLD_MODULEPATH;
        PS1=$OLD_PS1;

        #removing old variables
        unset OLD_KAUST_MODULES_ROOT OLD_MODULEPATH OLD_PS1 TEST_MODE;
    else
        echo "You are using the production mode!"
    fi
}
