AMPL
From FarmShare
I tried running an ampl example, specifically cut3.run from here: http://www.ampl.com/NEW/LOOP2/index.html
But you need to replace the command "option solver cplex" with "option solver cplexamp"
Put cplex in my path:
[chekh@corn14.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/ampl_test [0] $ module load CPLEX_Studio-12.4 [chekh@corn14.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/ampl_test [0] $ which cplex /mnt/glusterfs/software/non-free/CPLEX_Studio124/cplex/bin/x86-64_sles10_4.1/cplex [chekh@corn14.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/ampl_test [0] $ which cplexamp /mnt/glusterfs/software/non-free/CPLEX_Studio124/cplex/bin/x86-64_sles10_4.1/cplexamp
put ampl in my path:
module load AMPL
Interactive
Run interactive ampl using the absolute path:
[chekh@corn14.stanford.edu] /mnt/glusterfs/chekh/ampl_test [0] $ ampl ILOG AMPL 11.210, licensed to "stanford-palo alto, ca", options: MaintenanceEnd=20110531 AMPL Version 20081120 (Linux 2.6.18-5-amd64) ampl: include cut3.run 52.10 -2.00e-01 1 0 0 0 1 50.50 -2.00e-01 1 2 0 0 0 47.00 -1.00e-01 3 0 1 0 0 46.25 -1.00e-06 Rounded up to integer: 48 rolls Cut 0 0 9 5 0 8 18 8 20 5 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 45 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 50 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 55 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 75 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 WASTE = 7.48% Best integer: 47 rolls Cut 0 0 8 5 0 8 18 8 20 5 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 45 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 50 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 55 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 75 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 WASTE = 5.51% ampl: quit;
If you use "option solver cplex" in your run file, it will just sit there indefinitely and produce no output.
non-interactive, aka batch
You can just give ampl the filename of the run file as an argument, instead of invoking ampl interactively. E.g.
ampl cut3.run
It will still print the output out to stdout, so you may want to redirect to a file, e.g.
mpl cut3.run > output_of_cut3.out
submit to barley
Since we can run the program non-interactively, we can submit it to the resource management system. Write a job script like this:
#!/bin/bash # use the current directory #$ -cwd # use the current environment #$ -V # mail this address #$ -M chekh@stanford.edu # send mail on begin, end, suspend #$ -m bes # request 5GB of RAM for this job #$ -l mem_free=5G ampl model.run
You'll need to use the '-V' flag either on the command line or in the job script, and you'll need to run 'module load CPLEX_Studio-12.4' and 'module load AMPL' before you submit the job. The latter will add cplex and cplexamp to your PATH and the former will pass that environment variable through to the job environment.
Submit with:
qsub my_ampl.script
