Maps not running

Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT)
1

Hello,

I am user who has successfully used maps in the past on a previous HPC. I never once had an issue getting maps to run there.

However, we’ve since moved to a new HPC and I have not been able to get maps running at all.

I added "ready" and lat.in to a new directory but testing maps with the simple "maps -d &" does absolutely nothing. I don’t get a warning saying that the command doesn’t exist or can’t be found, that doesn’t seem to be the problem. I don’t receive any outputs whatsoever, in fact. Based on my experience, maps should quite quickly turn "ready" into directory "0" with str.out inside, but this isn’t happening. Since I get no indication what is wrong, I am at a loss as to what to check/fix/investigate. I’ve tried reinstalling atat, but to no avail. I have the exact same problem.

Is there any advise or guidance you can provide me in this matter? I apologize for having so little to go off of, but this is, afterall, the main problem; and I’m at my wit’s end, here.

Many thanks in advance.

I logged in and it seemed to work normally. I just saw your previous message. So I assume everything works now.
Not a problem - this was not an obvious issue to spot.

Thank you so much for your response,

The system specs are listed at the top of the page here:
https://hpc.wsu.edu/hardware-specifications/

with the following stated (I’m hopin the information you’re asking for is in here):

Intel E5-2680v2: 10 physical cores, 2.8GHz base frequency with 3.6GHz max turbo boost frequency, 25MB Intel Smart Cache, AVX extensions, codename Ivy Bridge

Also, I was able to run genstr fine, but cellcvrt doesn’t seem to respond. Does this point to something?

Thank you again. I really, really appreacite it.

Can you tell us which system you are using?
Can you run other commands, e.g. genstr -n=4
or cellcvrt -f < lat.in
?

can you try to download the "Beta version of the latest update" from https://alum.mit.edu/www/avdw/atat/

What does

uname -a

return?

Any chance I could get a login on that machine?

Downloaded the beta version as instructed. Here is the output from the command:

…$ uname -a
Linux login-p1n01.kamiak.wsu.edu 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 16:09:20 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I will send an email today to our system administrator to see about getting you a temporary account within our group. I’ll see if you can’t just use one of our rotation student accounts, but they can be pretty strict about access, so we’ll see. The sys admin is not the fastest correspondent so it might take a little bit.

In the meantime, I hope the above information is useful.

Thanks again so very, very much!

Axel,

False alarm. Please disregard. It would appear that the cluster has an environment built-in for "code development" and the cluster is flagging parts of maps as needing to be run from this environment. I have completely wasted your time. I am so, so sorry.

Thank you for your ready help. Again, my sincerest apologies for bothering you.

It was decided that I can give you my login. I have changed the password so you can use it.

I just need an email address to send the login details to.

Thanks again!
