To run any Cadence tools on the cluster, ensure that you use module add prior to using any Cadence executables. See Modules for more information.

Running on CIRCE - Interactive Job

  • Note: All Cadence processing/simulation jobs should be run in an SRUN session, and NOT on the login nodes!

To run Cadence tools using the GUI, the following steps must be taken, in addition to using another command sequence.

1. You must take note of the CIRCE login node that you’re presently logged into. You should see something like:

[user@login0 ~]$

2. You must take note of the current X display that you’re using so that it can be properly exported. To do this, you’ll run the command below and what you should expect to see on the shell:

[user@login0 ~]$ echo $DISPLAY
login0.rc.usf.edu:7009.0

3. You now have your display variables necessary to use the Cadence GUI on a compute node within the cluster. You now need to run the command below with example resources:

[user@login0 ~]$ srun --time=02:00:00 --nodes=1 --ntasks-per-node=4 --pty /bin/bash
[user@wh-520-4-1 ~]$ 

4. If all goes well, you should get dropped into an interactive shell on the execution host. You’ll now need to export the display variables taken from steps 1 and 2 above. You’ll run the following command:

[user@wh-520-4-1 ~]$export DISPLAY=login0:7009

5. The last step is to load the Cadence module as described below and then start your specific Cadence toolset.
