===Set-up for High Performance Computing on Windows===

i)	Download and install !WinSCP. !WinSCP can be downloaded from https://winscp.net/eng/download.php.

ii)	Download Putty. Putty must be in (C:\Program Files (x86)). It can be downloaded from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html.

iii)	Open !WinSCP.

iv)	Enter hostname “halstead.rcac.purdue.edu”.

v)	Enter your username and password.

vi)	Go to your directory on Halstead “scratch/Halstead/(first letter of username)/username”.

vii)	Make a new directory “Abaqus”.

viii) Create two tex files abaqus_v6.env and script.sh.

ix) abaqus_v6.env should contain the following three lines

mp_mode = MPI

mp_mpirun_options = '-UDAPL '

memory = '115 gb'	

x) script.sh file should contain the following lines

<pre>
#PBS -l walltime=30:00:00,nodes=3:ppn=8
#PBS -q standby
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -N abaqus
#PBS -m e
#PBS -n	
# NP=20    #!How many procs/nodes do I have?
source /etc/profile
#module load unsupported
#module load abaqus/6.10-1
module load abaqus/6.14-6
#export MPI_REMSH=ssh
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
#abq6101 input=RR1000_80_80_80_res2 \
abq6146 input=6006024R \
job=6006024R  cpus=24 interactive scratch=${PWD}
date     #! print date and time
</pre>

ix)	Transfer abaqus_v6 file  and script file  to “Abaqus directory”.

===Run jobs on halstead===

i)	Open !WinSCP

ii)	Enter hostname “halstead.rcac.purdue.edu”.

iii)	Enter your user name and password.

iv)	Go to Abaqus folder in your account folder by following “scratch/Halstead/(first letter of username)/username/Abaqus”.

v)	Transfer “Abaqus input file” to “Abaqus” directory.

vi)	Open script file and change walltime. Halstead kills the job if running time exceeds walltime.

vii)	Change number of nodes (machines). Maximum: 20, Recommended: 10. 

viii)	Enter ppn (processors per node). Maximum: 20

ix)	Enter input file name and assign a job name.

x)	Enter Abaqus input file name (in the third last line: abq6146 input=(input file name).

xi)	Enter job name.

xii)	Enter number of cpus that is equal to number of nodes*ppn.

xiii)	Open console (Putty).

xiv)	Type cd /scratch/Halstead//(first letter of your username)/username/Abaqus.

xv)	 Type “qsub –q cmsc script.sh” to run a job.

xvi)	Type: “qstat –u username” to check job status.

xvii)	Type: “qdel job id”. Job id is a job number assigned by Halstead.

xviii)	Transfer your files to local directory for post-processing.
