Implementing on HPC cluster
-
The documentation shows the simulations can be performed on the HPC cluster, but I cannot find an installation guide. Our cluster is Linux-based and the application is only available in Windows. I expect Python scripting is a possibility. Is there another way to use the Windows software on a Linux HPC, Like with a virtual machine or another technique?

Hi, Were you able to run simulations on the HPC cluster? I am also trying something like this. Please let me know. Thank you.

I eventually installed the software on a cloud virtual machine. It had a Windows 10 operating system for $3.79 per hour. (Paperspace.com) The workstation had an Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor, 16 virtual cores, 90 GB of RAM, two NVIDIA Ampere A6000 GPUs, each with 48 GB GPU memory, and 2 TB of disk space. By using the Cloud GPU, we were able to substantially improve the computation time (from 200 Mcells/s to 12,000 Mcells/s, about 60X improvement in speed) compared to parallel processing on an 8-core PC. The company has a new H100 GPU workstation at a slightly higher price. It would be interesting to see how much faster it performs.

That's great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'll explore the option of implementing something similar for EM simulation.
