OPAL (Object Oriented Parallel Accelerator Library) is a parallel open source tool for charged-particle optics in linear accelerators and rings, including 3D space charge. 

Using opal on Maxwell

Use the opal module to setup the environment. The opal-installation is based on the binary installer. A vanilla python 3.10  installation including pyOPALTools has been added. /software/opal/2021.1/sbatch-opal.sh is an example batch script.


module load maxwell opal

which {mpirun,opal,python3}
   /software/opal/2021.1/bin/mpirun
   /software/opal/2021.1/bin/opal
   /software/opal/pyOPALTools/bin/python3

# run the sample
mkdir -p $HOME/OPAL-Test
cd $HOME/OPAL-Test
# the batch-script create a local copy of the sample
cp /software/opal/2021.1/sbatch-opal.sh .
# customize the batch script as needed and submit, run takes about a minute
