Compiling code_aster in the container environment with mpi (petsc) #1

Oumar Mbengue

Hello,

I have installed the container: salome_meca-lgpl-2024.1.0-1-20240327-scibian-11.sif. However, this container does not include the PETSc solver.

To resolve this, I attempted to compile Code_Aster within the container to get the correct version with MPI support. Everything works fine initially, but I encounter a permission issue when trying to make the MPI version available in Salome using the following command:

echo "vers : testing_mpi:/opt/salome_meca/V2024.1.0_scibian_univ/tools/Code_aster_testing-1720/share/aster" >> /opt/salome_meca/V2024.1.0_scibian_univ/tools/Code_aster_frontend-202410/etc/codeaster/aster

I have tried various approaches (bind, manual edits using nautilus, using chmod 777) to force write access to the aster file, but none of them worked.

Does anyone have a solution or suggestion to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

raja

Did you solve your problem? Does code aster can run in parallel?

I can compile and install everything correctly. But any simulation using the MPI version fails due to issues copying files at the start of the simulations. Doesn't happen when I use an older sif.

J'ai trouvé une solution, il suffit de :

- convertir en sandox le fichier ".sif"
- éditer (echo...') avec l'option sudo singularity shell --writable
- reconvertir le sandbox en .sif
- enfin executer le container.

très bien, mais c'est un peu cryptique
pouvez vous détailler les commandes lignes par lignes

Commandes :

- sudo singularity build --sandbox <Nommer_SANDBOX> <Nom_CONTAINER>.sif
- sudo singularity shell --writable <Nommer_SANDBOX>
- echo "vers : testing_mpi:/opt/salome_meca/V2024.1.0_scibian_univ/tools/Code_aster_testing-1720/share/aster" >> /opt/salome_meca/V2024.1.0_scibian_univ/tools/Code_aster_frontend-202410/etc/codeaster/aster
- sudo singularity build <Nouveau_container>.sif <Nommer_SANDBOX>
- singularity run --app install <Nouveau_container>.sif

If you just need to modify 1 file, it is possible to copy it from the sif to any local location then modify it to your liking.

After that you can bind (using -B : yes you can bind single files) upon your next run.

Hi,
I have exactly followed the instructions at https://gitlab.com/codeaster-opensource-documentation/opensource-installation-development/-/blob/main/devel/compile.md
and now my container (SMeca-2024) is working fine with PETSC MPI. I have tested it with a relatively complicated non-linear study and getting reasonable results. Cheers..

PS: I am on Linux-Mint 21.3

Hi, I tried on Ubuntu 22.04 but I have some issues. May I ask:
-What Go version did you install?
-What singularity version did you checkout?
-Did you use the salome_meca-lgpl-2024.1.0-1-20240327 scibian 11 singularity container?
-Is “codeaster_prerequisites-20240327-oss.tar.gz” file needed? .When? and how?
-Did you run into the GLIBC_2.34 problem? (https__://forum.code-aster.org/public/d/26348-solution-for-singularity-error-glibc-2-34-not-found-ubuntu22-04)?

there's no official Windows version, but if my memory serves, SimulEase has a MPI version.
