====== Building Gromacs-Plumed on Caviness/DARWIN ======
The build procedure outlined herein uses Open MPI on top of the Intel compiler suite.
===== Directory Preparation =====
To begin, choose a directory in which the Gromacs_Plumed version(s) will be built and installed. To build in your home directory, for example:
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ GP_BASEDIR=~/sw/Gromacs_Plumed
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ G_BASEDIR="${GP_BASEDIR}/Gromacs"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ P_BASEDIR="${GP_BASEDIR}/Plumed"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS=0700
If you are managing Gromacs_Plumed software for your entire workgroup, you could instead use
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ GP_BASEDIR="${WORKDIR}/sw/Gromacs_Plumed"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ G_BASEDIR="${GP_BASEDIR}/Gromacs"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ P_BASEDIR="${GP_BASEDIR}/Plumed"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS=2770
If the directory hierarchy does not yet exist, it can be setup using
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ mkdir -p -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "${GP_BASEDIR}"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ mkdir -p -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "${G_BASEDIR}"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ mkdir -p -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "${P_BASEDIR}"
===== Source Preparation: Plumed =====
In this example version 2.8.3 of Plumed will be built. Our standard recipes for Plumed will entail use of the Intel compilers, the MKL for BLAS/LAPACK/FFTW/ScaLAPACK/BLACS, and Open MPI for parallelism.
Download and unpack "plumed-2.8.3.tgz" and create a directory to hold our base build of plumed-2.8.3, naming it with the version identifier: ''v2.8.3''. The source is then unpacked therein:
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ cd $P_BASEDIR
[user@login00.darwin Plumed]$ wget https://github.com/plumed/plumed2/releases/download/v2.8.3/plumed-2.8.3.tgz
[user@login00.darwin Plumed]$ tar -xvzf plumed-2.8.3.tgz
===== Compilation and Installation: Plumed=====
We use configure for compilation and installation on "v2.8.3" directory.
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ P_INSTALL_PREFIX="${P_BASEDIR}/v2.8.3"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ export P_INSTALL_PREFIX
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ P_SRC_PREFIX="${P_BASEDIR}/plumed-2.8.3"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ mkdir -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "$P_INSTALL_PREFIX"
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ cd "$P_SRC_PREFIX"
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ vpkg_devrequire openmpi/4.1.5:intel-oneapi-2023
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ ./configure --prefix=$P_INSTALL_PREFIX CC=mpicc CXX=mpicxx FC=mpifort LDFLAGS=-qmkl=sequential
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ make
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ make install
Our current working directory is now the source directory.
Here, we create ''sourceme.sh'' :
TPATH="${P_INSTALL_PREFIX}"
export PATH="$TPATH/bin/:$PATH"
export LIBRARY_PATH="$TPATH/lib/:$LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$TPATH/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PLUMED_KERNEL="$TPATH/lib/libplumedKernel.so"
export PLUMED_VIMPATH="$TPATH/lib/plumed/vim/"
export PYTHONPATH="$TPATH/lib/python/:$PYTHONPATH"
export CPATH="$TPATH/include/:$CPATH”
export INCLUDE="$TPATH/include/:$INCLUDE”
Executing the script.
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ source sourceme.sh
===== Source Preparation: Gromacs =====
In this example version 2022.5 of Gromacs will be built. Our standard recipes for Gromacs will entail use of the Intel compilers, the MKL for BLAS/LAPACK/FFTW/ScaLAPACK/BLACS, and Open MPI for parallelism.
Download and unpack "gromacs-2022.5.tar.gz" and create a directory to hold our base build of gromacs-2022.5, naming it with the version identifier: ''v2022.5''. The source is then unpacked therein:
[user@login00.darwin plumed-2.8.3]$ cd $G_BASEDIR
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ wget https://ftp.gromacs.org/gromacs/gromacs-2022.5.tar.gz
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ tar -xvzf gromacs-2022.5.tar.gz
===== Compilation and Installation: Plumed-patched Gromacs =====
We use cmake for compilation and installation on Plumed-patched Gromacs "v2022.5" directory.
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ G_INSTALL_PREFIX="${G_BASEDIR}/v2022.5"
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ export G_INSTALL_PREFIX
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ G_SRC_PREFIX="${G_BASEDIR}/gromacs-2022.5"
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ mkdir -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "$G_INSTALL_PREFIX"
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ G_BUILDDIR="${G_SRC_PREFIX}/build"
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ mkdir -m $GP_BASEDIR_PRIVS "$G_BUILDDIR"
[user@login00.darwin Gromacs]$ cd "$G_SRC_PREFIX"
Hear, we patch Plumed on Gromacs.
[user@login00.darwin gromacs-2022.5]$ plumed patch -p --static
Select 4:
1) gromacs-2019.6 5) gromacs-4.5.7 9) qespresso-5.0.2
2) gromacs-2020.7 6) namd-2.12 10) qespresso-6.2
3) gromacs-2021.7 7) namd-2.13
4) gromacs-2022.5 8) namd-2.14
[user@login00.darwin gromacs-2022.5]$ cd "$G_BUILDDIR"
Our current working directory is now the //build root//.
Here, we create ''SWMGR-build.sh'' :

[user@login00.darwin build]$ ./SWMGR-build.sh
===== VALET Package Definition =====
With this version of Gromacs_Plumed built, the remaining step is to leverage VALET for setup of the runtime environment when you use the software. VALET automatically recognizes the standard directory layout, so configuring versions/variants of ''Gromacs_Plumed'' is very straightforward. First, note your installation path:
[user@login00.darwin build]$ vpkg_rollback all
[user@login00.darwin build]$ cd
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ echo $GP_BASEDIR
/home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed
Since this build was done in the user's home directory, they were personal copies of the software and should use a //VALET package definition file// stored in ''~/.valet''
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ VALET_PKG_DIR=~/.valet ; VALET_PKG_DIR_MODE=0700
versus an installation made for an entire workgroup, which would store the VALET package definition files in ''$WORKDIR/sw/valet''
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ VALET_PKG_DIR="$WORKDIR/sw/valet" ; VALET_PKG_DIR_MODE=2770
Whichever scheme is in-use, ensure the directory exists:
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ mkdir -p --mode=$VALET_PKG_DIR_MODE "$VALET_PKG_DIR"
VALET allows package definitions in a variety of formats (XML, JSON, YAML) but YAML tends to be the simplest format so we will use it here.
==== Package section ====
The //package section// of the definition file includes items that apply to all versions/variants of the software:
Gromacs_Plumed:
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs
description: Gromacs_Plumed
url: "https://www.gromacs.org/"
The //package identifier// is the top-level key in the document — ''Gromacs_Plumed'' — and the value of ''$GP_BASEDIR'' is the value of the ''prefix'' key in this section. The URL and description are information taken from the official Gromacs web site.
==== Versions ====
The ''versions'' key is used to provide a list of the versions/variants of the software:
gromacs-plumed:
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs
description: Gromacs_Plumed
url: "https://www.gromacs.org/"
default-version: "v2022.5"
versions:
"v2022.5":
prefix: "v2022.5/double-mpi"
description: Gromacs patched with Plumed v2.8.3
dependencies:
- openmpi/4.1.5:intel-oneapi-2023
The version identifier ''v7.3'' is inferred to be the path prefix to the version in question here. The package's prefix (''/home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed'') with the version identifier appended (''/home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5'') is implicit.
The implicit behavior is overridden by providing a ''prefix'' key in the version definition: a relative path is appended to the package's prefix, an absolute path is used as-is.
It is a good idea to specify which version definition should act as the default. This yields the following package definition file
gromacs-plumed:
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs
description: Gromacs_Plumed
url: "https://www.gromacs.org/"
default-version: "v2022.5"
versions:
"v2022.5":
prefix: "v2022.5/double-mpi"
description: Gromacs patched with Plumed v2.8.3
dependencies:
- openmpi/4.1.5:intel-oneapi-2023
gromacs-plumed:
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs
description: Gromacs_Plumed
url: "https://www.gromacs.org/"
default-version: "v2022.5"
versions:
"v2022.5":
prefix: "v2022.5/double-mpi"
description: Gromacs patched with Plumed v2.8.3
dependencies:
- openmpi/4.1.4:intel-oneapi-2023
saved at ''$VALET_PKG_DIR/gromacs-plumed.vpkg_yaml''.
==== Checking the definition file ====
The package definition file can be checked for proper syntax using the VALET command ''vpkg_check'':
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ vpkg_check "$VALET_PKG_DIR/gromacs-plumed.vpkg_yaml"
/home/user/.valet/gromacs-plumed.vpkg_yaml is OK
[gromacs-plumed] {
contexts: all
actions: {
GROMACS_PLUMED_PREFIX=${VALET_PATH_PREFIX} (contexts: development)
}
https://www.gromacs.org/
Gromacs_Plumed
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs
source file: /home/user/.valet/gromacs-plumed.vpkg_yaml
default version: gromacs-plumed/v2022.5
versions: {
[gromacs-plumed/v2022.5] {
contexts: all
dependencies: {
openmpi/4.1.5:intel-oneapi-2023
}
Gromacs patched with Plumed v2.8.3
prefix: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5/double-mpi
standard paths: {
bin: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5/double-mpi/bin
lib: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5/double-mpi/lib64
man: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5/double-mpi/share/man
include: /home/user/sw/Gromacs_Plumed/Gromacs/v2022.5/double-mpi/include
}
}
}
}
The file had no errors in its YAML syntax. Notice also that the standard path (''bin'') is found and noted by VALET!
==== Runtime environment ====
To load **Gromacs_Plumed** v2022.5 into the runtime environment, the ''vpkg_require'' command is used:
[user@login00.darwin ~]$ vpkg_require gromacs-plumed/v2022.5
Adding dependency `binutils/2.35.1` to your environment
Adding dependency `gcc/12.2.0` to your environment
Adding dependency `intel-oneapi/2023.0.0.25537` to your environment
Adding dependency `ucx/1.13.1` to your environment
Adding dependency `openmpi/4.1.5:intel-oneapi-2023` to your environment
