open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I am trying to install the parallel version of telemac on Windows. I have downloaded MPICH2 and the METIS library and updated the path to include the mpi. I have changed the module in systel.cfg to wintelmpi. I then defined the number of parallel processors to 2 in the steering file to test the installation but when I run the code the following error appears which I do not understand...


... parsing configuration file: c:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\config\systel.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\pytel\runcode.py", line 963, in <module>
cfgs = parseConfigFile(options.configFile)
File "C:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\pytel\config.py", line 189, in parseConfigFile
configDict = getConfigs(file)
File "C:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\pytel\config.py", line 165, in getConfigs
parser.error("Could not access required parameters in config file")
NameError: global name 'parser' is not defined

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Danny

Hello,

Can you share your config file with us ?
You may have forgotten ":" between keys and values, or you may have have forgotten to update configs at the top.

Thanks,
Sébastien.
PS: Can you update your profile under "COMMUNITY"

Hi Sebastian,

I have attached the config file below...

I'll update my profile now.

Thanks for your help

Danny

Indeed, you need to set
configs: wintelmpi
at the top of your file.

Also, you can comment all three lines with par_cmdexec (add "#" as first character of the line).

The rest looks OK, although you may wish to replace
cmd_exe: xilink.exe ...
by:
cmd_exe: mpif90.exe ...
if you can find it under your mpi install.

Hope this helps,
Sébastien.

I changed the configs to configmpi and commented out the 3 par lines, however I still get the same error message when I try to run the model as below:

... parsing configuration file: c:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\config\systel.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):

configDict = getConfigs(file)
File "C:\opentelemac\v6p2r2\pytel\config.py", line 165, in getConfigs
parser.error("Could not access required parameters in config file")
NameError: global name 'parser' is not defined


Im not sure what you mean by your last suggestion; to replace cmd_exe: xilink.exe ... by cmd_exe: mpif90.exe ... if I can find the mpi install. Any further detail on this may help.

Cheers

Danny

OK -- I overlooked you cfg file.

You also need to comment the lines below as follows (you have no comment at present):

# also possible val_root: <root>\..\validation
val_root: <modpath>\validation
# also possible val_rank: all
val_rank: 0
#<3 >7 6

This should fix your problem.

Sebastien.

I did not find mpif90 under my install of MPICH2 on Windows. I must have been confused with Linux or gfortran Windows.

You configuration should now be OK.

Sebastien.

Ok it seems we are almost there, but now I get the error message:

Almost there.

Indeed, as you have defined a new configuration (wintelmpi), you need to recompile the system for that new configuration. Just type:

compileTELEMAC.py

And it should all be ready for you to use after that.

Sebastien.

Ah ok, I did this but then get the following when compliling :
