The instructions here assume you know the basics of running NAMD and have done it on a cluster like DT already. The details specific to Stampede2 are presented here. Stampede2 has 1T of space for each user, so clear out your data once in a while. Your working directory should look similar to this\\ /work/04431/ewang125/stampede2\\ Note that you need the stampede2 directory.\\ Also, you can type ''cdw'' to go to your work directory. To setup your directory for group readability please do the following: cdw setfacl -d -m u:jklauda:rw . Equilibrate your system on DT and get your restart files ''dyn.xsc'', ''dyn.coor'', ''dyn.vel'' In your namd directory, you need 5 more files to start production:\\ 1. ''dyn.csh''\\ 2. ''dyn.scr''\\ 3. ''dyn-1.inp''\\ 4. ''dyn-2.inp''\\ 5. ''last.seqno'' Example files using the KNL nodes. Use 1 node per job!\\ {{ :prod.tar.gz |}} Only dyn.csh changes if you're using the SKX nodes. For 30k atoms, 2 nodes is optimal. For 70k atoms, 3 nodes is ok but 4 is not ok. 4 tasks per node is recommended\\ {{ :dyn.csh.gz |}} An important note: in ''dyn.scr'', you need to cd directly to the working directory. If you have a lot of jobs, you may find it tedious to change every file.
