Introduction

Meep implements the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for computational electromagnetism.  The current version installed in SVU is 1.0.3.  More details on the Meep software can be found at the developer’s website.


Running a Parallel Meep job in SVU

Meep is currently only available on atlas4 cluster.  To run a 4-cpu parallel Meep job on a sample input file, ring.ctl, type the following command:

bsub -a mvapich -q atlas4_parallel -n 4 -o output.txt mpirun.lsf /app1/ia32-64/bin/meep-mpi ring.ctl

The program will generate Meep output files, and all screen output will be stored in output.txt.  Users can run up to 16-cpus on the atlas4_parallel queue.


Running a Serial Meep job in SVU

To run a serial job, type:
bsub -q linux64 -m atlas4cluster -o output.txt /app1/ia32-64/bin/meep-serial ring.ctl
