Applications/repast-hpc

Application Details

• Description: Repast for HPC (Repast-HPC) is a next generation agent-based modeling system intended for large-scale distributed computing platforms.
• Version: 2.2.0 (compiled with gcc)
• Modules: repast-hpc/gcc/2.2.0
• Licence: Github, open-source

Usage

It implements the core Repast Simphony concepts (e.g. contexts and projections), modifying them to work in a parallel distributed environment.

Repast HPC is written in cross-platform C++.

Example

Interactive Session

Below is an example of using repast-hpc on Viper

[pysdlb@login01 ~]$ interactive
salloc: Granted job allocation 520259
Job ID 520259 connecting to c019, please wait...
[username@c019 ~]$ module add repast-hpc/gcc/2.2.0
[username@c019 ~]$ module add boost/gcc/1.53.0
[username@c019 ~]$ module add openmpi/gcc/1.10.5
[username@c019 ~]$ cd repast_hpc/bin
[username@c019 rumor]$ ./rumor_model
usage: X -config string -properties string
  config string: string is the path to the repast exascale
        configuration properties file
  properties string: string is the path to the model properties file

Non interactive job

This runs on the scheduler SLURM
