SCEC has migrated our BBP server from University Park server room to USC's new research Computing group CARC.
Contents
Server Name
- broadband_carc.usc.edu
- [CARC] Getting CARC account
- login: ssh broadband_carc.usc.edu
Disk Quota
- Users have 10GB quota on /home/username
- Users have 1TB+ quota on /project/scec_608/<username>
CARC File systems
CARC users have a home directory on the /home/username filesystem. This directory has a quota of about 10GB. To do a Broadband installation, we will need to make use of SCEC storage on the CARC /project/scec_608 filesystem.
To create a broadband installation in on the broadband_carc server, we recommend using the following filesystems:
- /home/username
This is the users home login account. Edit the .bashrc in this account to setup the required modules and environment variables.
- /project/scec_608/username/scecbbp
This should be the installation directory for bbp. All bbp related software and data (except the .bashrc file) can be found here. Typically, users will log in and move into this directory to run the broadband platform. This is the directory that where the user clones the bbp repo and runs the bbp installation script.
When the bbp platform installation process runs, this is the
- /project/scec_608/username/scecbbp/bbp_gf
- /project/scec_608/username/scecbbp/bbp_val
- /project/scec_608/username/scecbbp/bbp_data
Installing Broadband on CARC
The users account must be configured using the CARC module system. The module systems sets up the users computing environment, including the compilers and libraries. The module system provides a lot of flexibility in building the BBP software. We have tested the broadband platform on broadband_carc using a specific module configuration using recent gnu compilers, that we describe in these installation notes.
Anaconda Installation
To support users running broadband platform on computers where we don't have root, we recommend use of Anaconda python, so the software is managed (adding packages) without root access.
