gbpDocker

This project provides a base image for building projects that require an MPI-enabled cluster. It began with a clone of:

git@github.com:DaisukeMiyamoto/docker-openmpi.git (commit b8ad167216bba7fef9a7802bcfc7ceda763aea9b)

and has evolved from there.

To use:

1. First, you may want to generate a personalized ssh public key pair:

   $ cd docker-image
   $ ./change_ssh_keys.sh
   

   (Be careful ... if you change this after using a previous key for a while, you may need to remove [localhost]:2222 from your .ssh/known_hosts.)

2. Then, from the root directory, build the docker image (this generally only needs to be done once):

   $ ./cluster_build.sh
   

3. To deploy the cluster (in this example, building 4 nodes):

   $ ./cluster_up.sh [n_nodes]
   

   where [n_nodes] is required and must be >=1.

4. To login to the head node:

   $ ./cluster_login.sh
   

5. To run mpi programs from the head node:

   $ ./make-hostfile.sh
   $ mpirun -np 16 hostname
   252f9f5abc18
   252f9f5abc18
   252f9f5abc18
   252f9f5abc18

   0ebd38ff982e
   fa00f144c7be
   0ebd38ff982e
   fa00f144c7be
   0ebd38ff982e
   fa00f144c7be
   0ebd38ff982e
   4c1364ddf9d9
   4c1364ddf9d9
   4c1364ddf9d9
   4c1364ddf9d9
   

6. Finally, to shutdown the cluster:

   $ ./cluster_down.sh
