 +==== Running SEM simulations in parallel ====
 +
 +Some instructions to use custom scripts enabling parallel SEM simulations on the HPC cluster
 +
 +=== Preparing the input files ===
 +
 +
 +First, create an event list "​Events.txt"​ with 3 collumns:
 +  * 1st column: event_id (will also be the name of the run directory)
 +  * 2nd column: path to ''​CMTSOLUTION''​ file for this event
 +  * 3nd column: path to ''​STATION''​ file for this event (can be the same for all events)
 +
 +Then you must setup a ''​Par_file''​ (be careful to use a version of ''​Par_file''​ that is compatible with your SEM version)
 +
 +Finally, you must setup hostfiles named ''​nodelistN''​ files where N=0,​...,​Np-1 (Np, the number of parallel SEM simulations). These files must specify host names and number of slots per node. Here is an example:
 +<​code>​
 +$ cat nodelist0 ​
 +hpc-n443 slots=8
 +hpc-n444 slots=8
 +hpc-n445 slots=8
 +</​code>​
 +(see ''/​b/​home/​eost/​zac/​jobs/​specfem/​parallelSEM/​nodelist0''​)
 +
 +=== Running the simulations in parallel ===
 +
 +Parallel SEM simulations are handled using 3 scripts:
 +  * ''​parallelSEM.sh'':​ is the main script, that compiles the code and run the simulations
 +  * ''​run_gpu_nodelist.sh''​ is the script used to run the mesher and solver
 +  * ''​sleep.slurm''​ is a script to reserve the GPU nodes
 +All these scripts are available in ''/​b/​home/​eost/​zac/​jobs/​specfem/​parallelSEM''​
 +
 +Before running your job, make sure that the input parameters in ''​parallelSEM.sh''​ are consistent with the input parameters stated above (see ''​INPUT PARAMS''​ in the main script). Specifically:​
 +  * ''​SPECFEMDIR'':​ path to SPECFEM3D_GLOBE directory
 +  * ''​Par_file'':​ path to the Par_file used in simulations
 +  * ''​Nparallel'':​ Number of SEM simulations in parallel (make sure enough GPUs are available)
 +  * ''​event_list'':​ List of events with the format given above
 + 
 +Then run your simulations:​
 +<​code>​
 +./​parallelSEM.sh
 +</​code>​
 +The script will make sure that the GPU nodes are available before launching SPECFEM3D_GLOBE.
