Using the Jenkins Continuous Integration Executables [outdated]

This section describes how to find executables installed by jenkins and how to load the environment to run the application.

Taking COSMO as an example, the first step is to specify a spack spec that identifies an specific build with a set of variants. For example

COSMO_SPEC="cosmo@master%pgi real_type=float cosmo_target=gpu +cppdycore +claw"

In order to find the location of that build,

spack location -i ${COSMO_SPEC}

The spec has to be complete and match all variants that were use to build the executable. Jenkins is not building all variant possibilities (it would not be possible). If you need to know the set of variants that are installed, run the following

spack find -v cosmo

==> 8 installed packages
-- linux-rhel7-skylake_avx512 / gcc@8.3.0 -----------------------
cosmo@org-master~claw cosmo_target=cpu ~cppdycore~debug+dycoretest+eccodes+parallel~pollen~production real_type=double ~serialize slave=tsa ~verbose
cosmo@org-master~claw cosmo_target=cpu ~cppdycore~debug+dycoretest+eccodes+parallel~pollen~production real_type=float ~serialize slave=tsa ~verbose

-- linux-rhel7-skylake_avx512 / pgi@19.9 ------------------------
cosmo@dev-build~claw cosmo_target=cpu ~cppdycore~debug+dycoretest~eccodes+parallel~pollen~production real_type=float +serialize slave=tsa ~verbose
cosmo@5.07.mch1.0.p6+claw cosmo_target=gpu +cppdycore~debug+eccodes+parallel+pollen+production real_type=double ~serialize slave=tsa ~verbose
cosmo@5.07.mch1.0.p6+claw cosmo_target=gpu +cppdycore~debug+eccodes+parallel+pollen+production real_type=float ~serialize slave=tsa ~verbose

Once you have localized a COSMO executable, you can run it provided you load first the needed environment. In order to use the executable on a compute node, we need first to load the spack module environment for COSMO.

module use /project/g110/modules/admin-tsa/linux-rhel7-skylake_avx512/
source <( spack module tcl loads ${SPACK_SPEC} )
