'''Hawk''' is the next generation HPC system at HLRS. It will replace the existing [[Cray XC40|HazelHen]] system.
The installation is planed to take place in Q4 2019. For more detailed information see the [[Hawk installation schedule]].

== Topics for Software Installation Meeting ==


* template for modulefiles; see [[#Modulefile best practices]]
----
* hierarchy of modulefiles [[#Hierarchy of modules]]
* default compiler / MPI / others
* how to deal with software from base linux which should not be visible on cluster, i.e. system compiler (gcc 4.8.5)

In order to use the MPI implementation provided by HPE, please load the Message Passing Toolkit (MPT) module ''mpt'' (not ABI-compatible to other MPI implementations) or ''hmpt'' (ABI-compatible to MPICH-derivatives).
For detailed information see the [http://www.hpe.com/support/mpi-ug-036 HPE Message Passing Interface (MPI) User Guide].

== Modulefile best practices ==


* Set an environment variable to the root path of your installation (cf. e.g. MPI_ROOT in /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/hmpt/2.19).
* Set not only CPATH but also respective variables used by PGI / Intel / etc. -> someone has to figure out the list of those variables, same w.r.t. (LD_)LiBRARY_PATH.
* Include your Name (finger does not work anymore), E-Mail and date of installation into the modulefile.
* It's possible to hold the modulefile(s) together with the actual installation in the respective directory and just create symlinks in /opt/hlrs/modulefiles/.
* Directory structure of /opt/hlrs/ shall be replicated in /opt/hlrs/unsupported-modulefiles/.
* In case of dependencies, load explicit versions instead of default one!


As an example a modulefile for package "foo" version 1.23 (within the category "performance") should look like:
#%Module1.0
BASE_DIR=/opt/hlrs/
CAT=performance
PACKAGE=Foo
VERSION=1.23
FOO_ROOT=$BASE_DIR/$CAT/$PACKAGE/$VERSION
setenv FOO_ROOT $FOO_ROOT
setenv FOO_VERSION $VERSION
prepend-path PATH                $FOO_ROOT/bin
prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH    $FOO_ROOT/lib        # library search path at time of execution (i.e. in case of _dynamic_ linking)
prepend-path LIBRARY_PATH        $FOO_ROOT/lib        # equivalent of "-L" for C, C++, and Fortran
prepend-path CPATH              $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" for C, C++ and Fortran
prepend-path CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH  $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" only for C++ compiler; usually not needed as CPATH will do
prepend-path C_INCLUDE_PATH      $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" only for C compiler; usually not needed as CPATH will do
prepend-path MANPATH            $FOO_ROOT/share/man  # manpages


== Test cases best practices ==


Test cases will help to identify and determine the scaling/ performance behavior of the new system.
Ideally, those test cases can be compared to other systems as well to get a full picture.


To do:
{| style="border:0; margin: 0;" width="100%" cellspacing="10"
* Definition of a best practice guideline on how to set up a correct test case
** Only measurement of time-stepping loop or equivalent excluding the initialization phase or cleanup
** Well defined measure of computational progress (e.g. LUPS, DoF-UPS, Iterations/s or Flop/s)
** Ideally, the test case is mostly automated with scripts and does also the evaluation on top with a meaningful result file
