Parallel python code for electromagnetic modeling in geophysics using high-order nédélec finite elements

Project description

petgem is a parallel python code for 3D Controlled-Source Electromagnetic Method (3D CSEM) in geophysics using high-order edge finite elements (Nédélec finite elements).

Requirements

petgem is known to run on various flavors of Linux clusters. Its requirements are:

  • PETSc (builded version for COMPLEX-VALUED NUMBERS) for the use of direct/iterative parallel solvers

  • Python 3 (versions 3.5.2, 3.6.3 and 3.6.9 have been tested)

  • Numpy for arrays manipulation

  • Scipy for numerical operations

  • Singleton-decorator

  • Sphinx and LaTeX (textlive) to generate documentation

  • Petsc4py for parallel computations on distributed-memory platforms. It allows the use of parallel direct/iterative solvers from PETSc

  • Mpi4py for parallel computations on distributed-memory platforms.

  • h5py for input/output tasks.

On Linux, consult the package manager of your preference. petgem can be used without any installation by running the kernel from the top-level directory of the distribution.

Install

  • Following commands may require root privileges

  • Download PETSc (PETSc 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.12, and 3.14 have been tested)

  • Uncompress the PETSc archive (in this example, using PETSc 3.14.0):

    $ tar zxvf petsc-3.14.0.tar.gz
  • Configure and build PETSc. The configuration options depend on the calculations you want to perform (complex- or real-valued) as well as your compiler/MPI/Blas/Lapack setup. For petgem executions, PETSC MUST BE BUILD FOR COMPLEX-VALUED NUMBERS. In order to avoid incompatibilities between PETSC, petsc4py and petgem, we highly recommend the following configuration lines. Please, visit PETSc website for advanced configuration options. If you have a clean environment (not working MPI/Blas/Lapack), then run:

    $ cd petsc-3.14.0
    $ export PETSC_DIR=$PWD
    $ export PETSC_ARCH=arch-linux2-c-debug
  • If you do not want support for MUMPS, run following configure line:

    $ ./configure --with-cc=gcc --with-cxx=g++ --with-fc=gfortran  --download-mpich --download-fblaslapack --with-scalar-type=complex
  • If you want support for MUMPS, please add following options to previous configure line:

    $ --download-mumps --download-scalapack --download-parmetis --download-metis --download-ptscotch --download-cmake
  • Further, to activate GPUs support, please add following options to previous configure line:

    $ --with-cuda=1 --with_cuda_dir=PATH

    where PATH is the directory of your CUDA libraries.

  • Then, build and install PETSc:

    $ make $PETSC_DIR $PETSC_ARCH all
    $ make $PETSC_DIR $PETSC_ARCH test
    $ make $PETSC_DIR $PETSC_ARCH streams
  • Ensure your mpicc compiler wrapper is on your search path:

    $ export PATH="${PETSC_DIR}/${PETSC_ARCH}/bin:${PATH}"
  • Ensure you have a Numpy installed:

    $ pip3 install numpy
  • And finally, install petgem with its dependencies (Scipy , Blessings, Sphinx, Petsc4py) by typing:

    $ pip3 install **petgem**
