MuMax3 - Micromagnetic Simulation
Introduction
MuMax3 is a micromagnetic simulation program that features performance acceleration for systems with graphics processing units (GPUs). It has been installed on Parallel where there are a number of GPU-enabled nodes.
Note: accounts on Parallel are not set up automatically when you get a WestGrid account. See the Parallel QuickStart Guide for access instructions.
Running MuMax3 on Parallel
To run MuMax3 on Parallel, include lines in your job script similar to these:
module load mumax3/3.9.1
mumax3 standard_problem4.txt
For MuMax3 3.8, use module load mumax/3.8. For an even older versions:
module load cuda/5.5
/global/software/mumax3/mumax34/mumax3 standard_problem4.txt
(Standard Problem 4 is an example available from http://mumax.github.io/examples.html).
See the WestGrid GPU computations page for general instructions on requesting GPU nodes and for sample batch job scripts.
