The above video shows how to:
- Setup your simulations on a local computer.
- Run the simulations and sweeps on the cluster. These simulation can either be run directly with MPI from the command line, using a job scheduler or integrating Lumerical's job manager with your cluster's job scheduler.
- Complete your analysis on the local computer.
Notes:
- We are focusing on FDTD and varFDTD, which offer the possibility of both distributed and concurrent computing.
- Running simulations simultaneously, across several computers/nodes will require an additional license for each additional node running the simulation.
- Product software must be of the same release version on all nodes.
- The example provided here is for the PBS scheduler.
- Please coordinate with your IT department Administrator on how to configure and run FDTD simulations or submit jobs to your cluster.
- The submission script and how you submit to your cluster will vary depending on your cluster and job scheduler.
