Questions about using the parallel mode

[Taihsiang Ho]

Hi,

I tried to run my driven script in parallel mode so I could study and development the parallel part of SOLVCON.

By reading the source code and the other driven script examples,

I suppose I could enable the parallel mode by passing a special attribute "domaintype" when creating simulation case.

For example, something like:

@gas.register_arrangement

def tube(casename, **kw):

    from solvcon.domain import Collective

    return tube_base(

        # Required positional argument for the name of the simulation case.

        casename,

        domaintype=Collective,

        # Arguments to the base configuration.

        gamma=1.4,

        ssteps=200, psteps=4, edgelength=0.02,

        rho1=1.0, p1=1.0,

        rho2=0.125, p2=0.1,

        # Arguments to GasCase.

        time_increment=7.e-4, steps_run=600, **kw)

but I was complained by SOLVCON when run this driven script:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./go", line 254, in <module>

    sc.go()

  File "/home/tai271828/work-my-projects/solvcon/solvcon.installed/solvcon/cmdutil.py", line 187, in go

    cmd()

  File "/home/tai271828/work-my-projects/solvcon/solvcon.installed/solvcon/command.py", line 1091, in __call__

    func(submit=False, **funckw)

  File "/home/tai271828/work-my-projects/solvcon/solvcon.installed/solvcon/case.py", line 1077, in simu

    cse = func(*args, **kw)

  File "./go", line 250, in tube

    time_increment=7.e-4, steps_run=600, **kw)

TypeError: tube_base() got multiple values for keyword argument 'domaintype'

Questions:

1. where the argument 'domaintype' was given is the correct location?

2. was I in the right way to enable the parallel mode?

Thanks.

Cheers,

This is not exactly true.  In addition to a correct domaintype, you also need to tell solvcon.case.MeshCase a correct npart.  SOLVCON then needs to spawn new processes, either locally or remotely, to carry out parallel computing.  Most of the logic should be in solvcon.case.MeshCase or its predecessor solvcon.case_legacy.

domaintype should be Distributed instead of Collective.  I can’t remember why I have two classes of identical functions, but they have different uses.  The detail might be in MeshCase.

For parallel runs you can refer to $root/ftests/test_remote.py.  It’s not functioning now, but should provide hints.

Thanks.
