Speos HPC Parameters (Command Lines)

Speos HPC is a MPI command line application, with which you run and control the simulations you submit.

Speos HPC provides you with the following parameters (command lines) to configure the simulation check or job:

Parameter (Command Line)

Description

-licensinfo

Displays the current license core and/or core.hour information, in terminal and in an OptisLicenseInfo.txt file located in the OptisLicenseClient folder.

-h

Displays the Speos HPC help.

-v

Displays the Speos HPC version.

-speos speospath

Specifies the path to the .speos file to use for the simulation.

Note: .speos file replace the previous .sv5 file extension. However you can use .sv5 files with the -speos command line.

-file "input file name"

Contains command line arguments.

If you do not specify input file name, SPEOSHPC assumes that this name is SpeosHPC_arg.in in the .speos folder.

-check

Runs SPEOSHPC in check mode (check speos loading and simulation init).

-gpu

Notifies the cluster to run the simulations job using the GPU instead of the CPU.

Note: When using the -gpu command line, the -threads command line is not needed.

-threads nn

Specifies the number of threads per node.

-nbrays nnnn

Specifies the number of rays/passes for the Monte Carlo Direct or Inverse simulations.

-disablefiles

Disables all .lpf, .lp3, .ray, .tm25ray output files.

-stime nnnn

-mtime nnnn

-htime nnnn

-dtime nnnn

Runs the simulation during nnnn seconds/minutes/hours/days (only for Monte Carlo simulation).

You can combine these command lines.

For inverse simulation with multiple sensors, the specified simulation time is for each sensor.

-hsave nnnn

-dsave nnnn

Merges and saves the intermediate results every nnnn hours/days (only for Monte Carlo simulation).

You can combine these command lines.

-nosave

Disables the merge and save of intermediate results.

Using -nosave is not recommended.

-nowarnings

Disables all warnings outputs.

-first-sensor "sensor number"

Defines the first sensor to be simulated. (Only for inverse Monte Carlo multi-sensor simulations)

-last-sensor "sensor number"

Defines the last sensor to be simulated. (Only for inverse Monte Carlo multi-sensor simulations)

Examples

  • Running Speos HPC with the file.speos: 

         ./SPEOSHPC.exe –speos path/file.speos

  • Running Speos HPC with the file.speos for 1 day: 

         ./SPEOSHPC.exe –speos path/file.speos –dtime 1

  • Running Speos HPC with the file.speos for 500 passes: 

         ./SPEOSHPC.exe –speos path/file.speos –nbrays 500

  • Specifying the CodePage converter name: 

         ./SPEOSHPC.exe -speos path/file.speos
