Dakota<\/a> is a program to perform advanced parametric analyses to enable design exploration, model calibration, risk analysis, and quantification of margins and uncertainty with computational models.<\/p>\n Versions 6.10.0 and 6.15.0 are installed on the CSF. Both are “binary” installs – i.e., not compiled from source.<\/p>\n There are no restrictions on accessing this software on the CSF. Please review the various licenses<\/a> under which the software is released and ensure your usage falls within those licenses. In particular, the GUI is released under the Eclipse Public License<\/a> and the main app is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License<\/a>.<\/p>\n We now recommend loading modulefiles within your jobscript so that you have a full record of how the job was run. See the example jobscript below for how to do this. Alternatively, you may load modulefiles on the login node and let the job inherit these settings<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n Load one of the following modulefiles:<\/p>\n Please do not run Dakota on the login node. Jobs should be submitted to the compute nodes via batch.<\/p>\n Create a batch submission script (which will load the modulefile in the jobscript), for example:<\/p>\n Submit the jobscript using: <\/p>\n where scriptname<\/em> is the name of your jobscript.<\/p>\n It is recommended that you consult the Dakota manuals<\/a> for details on how to perform parallel analysis using Dakota.<\/p>\n Parallel execution of Dakota is still being confirmed.<\/p>\n where scriptname<\/em> is the name of your jobscript.<\/p>\n The Dakota GUI should not be started on the login nodes. It is expected that the GUI be used just to prepare models and visualize results. But the main dakota process jobs should be submitted to batch, without use of the GUI (see above.)<\/p>\n To run the GUI, first start an interactive session:<\/p>\n None.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview Dakota is a program to perform advanced parametric analyses to enable design exploration, model calibration, risk analysis, and quantification of margins and uncertainty with computational models.
