Licensing and Access

The exciting code is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See more info here. Source code can be obtained via the Exciting download webpage.

Running

To access the executables you should load the 'exciting' module into your environment.

module load exciting/exciting.boron

Prepare your own input file. More information about the input file can be found .

Run the exciting code with your input file. Here is an example MPI job script :

#!/bin/bash --login

# PBS job options (name, compute nodes, job time)
#PBS -N exciting
#PBS -l select=2
#PBS -l walltime=0:20:00

# Make sure you change this to your budget code
#PBS -A budget

# Load module for the exciting code
module load exciting/exciting.boron

# Make sure any symbolic links are resolved to absolute path
export PBS_O_WORKDIR=$(readlink -f $PBS_O_WORKDIR)               

# Change to the direcotry that the job was submitted from
# (remember this should be on the /work filesystem)
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

# Set the number of threads to 1
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1

# set the path for EXCITINGRUNDIR. You can set the path to your own directory.
export EXCITINGRUNDIR=$PBS_O_WORKDIR

# Launch the parallel job
#  
# Replace input.xml with your own input file

aprun -n 48 excitingmpi input.xml
