This repo is for building a GEANT4 simulation of a Cryostat with a Transition edge sensor (TES) substrate within it.
Please follow the guide on our wiki.
After you modify any of the code, from your directory create a build directory if it does not exist:
mkdir build
Otherwise remove all of the CMake cash from the build folder:
rm -rf CMakeCache.txt cmake_install.cmake CMakeFiles Makefile;
Then make. Use -j flag to denote number of cores you want to use in the process. It is not recommened to use all of the cores available.
make -j7
To run on NYUAD Jubail HPC you need to be registered. Please read on the official website how to register an account and submit jobs.
Go to tes-geant/hpc and modify run-start.sh file:
cd tes-geant/hpc;
vim run-start.sh
Then submit the job by typing:
sbatch run-start.sh
You can see the output of programm by tailing the output file:
tail -f start-job....out
To exit, simply press Ctrl + C
To see the status of your job you can use sacct or squeue. To check the HPC use you can type cmap.
