Cluster

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I got some problem with candi on a cluster: on the login node I can not compile but on compute node I can not download anything.
Is there a way to set candi to just dowloand or to just compile?

P.S.:
I like very much candi! Thank you!

Yes it is. Run candi on a other machine such that the download folder is complete. Then copy the source dir and for deal.II also the unpack/deal.II dir onto your shared space. Then candi will see the downloads and do not try to download them.
To just compile (everything downloaded and unpacked) you can set the DEVELOPER_MODE=ON switch in the candi.cfg file. (but make sure that you have copied the unpack folder completely.
Hope that helps you out.

Ok. Thanks! I will try. Btw, I think that flags like ./candi --only-download or ./candi --only-compile would be a very nice feature for clusters.
Thank you again for you answer! :)

I thought about something like this. We are currently staging candi as installer for deal.II
Afterwards I will throw a discussion about this point.
Kind regards Uwe
