Setting Up UCVM Environment on Discovery

On discovery, setup your ucvm environment. This is only needed the first time. Commands on Linux command line are preceded by %. Don't type the %

Confirm your test directory exists, if not create it with mkdir command

%cd /home1/<username>/test_ucvm

if not, create a test directory in your account

%mkdir /home1/<username/test_ucvm

For this training session, copy /home1/maechlin/test_ucvm to your /home1/<username>/test_ucvm

%cd /home1/<username>/test_ucvm

%cp /home1/maechlin/test_ucvm/* .

Confirm the files were copied

%ls

then return to your login directory %cd ~

Then add these aliases into .bashrc file

• alias 2test="cd /home1/<username>/test_ucvm"
• alias 2project="cd /project/scec_608/<username>/ucvm/ucvm_bin"

Save the updated .bashrc file and run the updated .bashrc file

%source ~/.bashrc

then,..

%env |grep UCVM

should see setting of UCVM related environment variable like these..

UCVM_SRC_PATH=...

UCVM_INSTALL_PATH=...

then, these command should return useful information..

%which ucvm_query

%ucvm_query -H

This alias should move you to your ucvm installation directory

%2project

This alias should move you to your test_ucvm directory

%2test

Technique to reduce auto logouts

$ ssh -o "ServerAliveInterval 60" broadband

Running ucvm_query on Discovery

This is the contents of the README.md on discovery

(base) [maechlin@discovery1 test_ucvm]$ cat README.md
== Linux Command Syntax ==
Example commands on Linux system. Don't type the % sign
%ls
%pwd

== ucvm query Input format ==
lon, lat, depth
-118.0, 34.0 0.0

== Example query format ==
move into your test_ucvm directory where you copied files from /home1/maechlin/test_ucvm

You can use alias setup earliers
%2test

confirm files referenced are in the current directory
%pwd

%ucvm_query -f /project/scec_608/<username>/ucvm_bin/conf/ucvm.conf -m cvmh < test_pts.in

== UCVM Basin Query ==
*[https://github.com/SCECcode/UCVMC/wiki/Test-Cases-Basin-Query Basin Query Examples]

== Example basin_query Command on Discovery ==
%basin_query -f /project/maechlin_162/ucvm_bin/conf/ucvm.conf -m cvmh -v 2500 < basin_pts.in > basin_pts_cvmh.out
then..
%cat basin_pts_cvmh.out 
which shows returns 3 depth values tuple that is, first-crossing, second crossing and the last crossing with the threshold.

== Transfer files between Discovery and laptop ==
Assume file on laptop, copy it to directory on discovery
Issue this command from directory on laptop that contains the file ucvmPlotting.yml that you want to copy
%scp ucvmPlotting.yml maechlin@discovery.usc.edu:/home1/maechlin/test_ucvm/.

or, copy files from directory on discovery.usc.edu to laptop
in a directory on laptop, run this command
%scp maechlin@discovery.usc.edu:/home1/maechlin/test_ucvm/*
