Mathematica is an integrated technical computing environment which combines numeric and symbolic compute engines, a graphics system, a programming language, a documentation system and connectivity to other programs. Mathematica may be used for handling complex symbolic calculations involving millions of terms, analyzing and visualizing data, numerical modeling and simulation, rapid application development, producing publication-quality output and presentations.<\/p>\n
Version 11.1.1, 10.0.2 and 8.0.4 is currently installed on the CSF.<\/p>\n
To set up the Mathematica environment you need to issue the following command<\/p>\n
module load apps\/binapps\/mathematica\/11.1.1\r\n\r\nOR<\/pre>\nmodule load apps\/binapps\/mathematica\/10.0.2\r\n\r\nOR\r\n\r\nmodule load apps\/binapps\/mathematica\/8.0.4\r\n<\/pre>\nRunning the application interactively<\/h2>\n
To run Mathematica 8 interactively you should first log into the CSF using the -X switch as follows<\/p>\n
ssh -X -l username<\/em> csf.itservices.manchester.ac.uk\r\n<\/pre>\nNext, load the Mathematica modulefile<\/p>\n
module load apps\/binapps\/mathematica\/11.1.1\r\n<\/pre>\nFinally, run Mathematica via qrsh<\/a><\/p>\n
qrsh -V -l inter -l twoday mathematica\r\n<\/pre>\n\n

Serial batch job submission<\/h2>\n
It is not possible to run Mathematica .nb files in batch mode.<\/strong> Instead, you must create a text-only file containing your Mathematica program. For example, create a text file called myprog.m containing the following<\/p>\n
Table[\r\n NIntegrate[Sin[x^n], {x, 1, 10}, MaxRecursion -> 1000]\r\n , {n, 1, 70}]\r\n<\/pre>\nA suitable SGE submission script, mathematica_job.sge, for the above would be<\/p>\n
#$ -cwd\r\n#$ -j y\r\n#$ -V\r\nmath < myprog.m > out.txt\r\n<\/pre>\nNote that the executable that runs your script is math<\/strong> (i.e. the Mathematica Kernel) and not mathematica<\/strong> (The notebook interface)<\/p>\n
To run the above job you should first load the Mathematica modulefile (if you haven’t already)<\/p>\n
module load apps\/binapps\/mathematica\/11.1.1\r\n<\/pre>\nand then use
qsub<\/code><\/p>\nqsub mathematica_job.sge\r\n<\/pre>\nParallel batch job submission<\/h2>\n
A parallel version of myprog.m is<\/p>\n
LaunchKernels[4];\r\nParallelTable[\r\n NIntegrate[Sin[x^n], {x, 1, 10}, MaxRecursion -> 1000], {n, 1, 70}] \/\/ AbsoluteTiming\r\nCloseKernels[];\r\n<\/pre>\nA suitable submission script is<\/p>\n
#$ -cwd\r\n#$ -j y\r\n#$ -V\r\n## The number on the pe line (number of cores) **must** match the number you set in LaunchKernels[]\r\n#$ -pe smp.pe 4\r\nmath < myprog.m > out.txt\r\n<\/pre>\nNote that the only difference is the
-pe<\/code> switch. Job submission is similar to that of serial jobs: Load the module and use qsub.<\/p>\nFurther info<\/h2>\n
