  • The image should be equipped with an MPICH ABI compatible MPI and OpenFOAM should be compiled with it.
  • Operating system of the image should be compatible with Setonix operating system (we have used Ubuntu 18.04 & only ubuntu 20.04 successfullyhas proven to be successfull).

Warning
titleImages that used to work on Magnus previously may not work on Setonix
after upgrade to CPE 23.03

Many previous images provided for their use in previous Pawsey Supercomputers (as Magnus) were built FROM the Pawsey-provided base image of MPICH with Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04. But images based on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 do not run properly on Setonix , and our containers after upgrade to CPE 23.03. Then all our maintained images have been updated and rebuilt FROM base images of MPICH with Ubuntu 1820.04. Users that count with their own rely on images based on Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 will need to update and rebuild them pull updated images from Pawsey registry in quay.io and/or rebuild their own FROM base images of MPICH with Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04.

For building their own images, we recommend users to use their own institution Linux installation equipped with Docker. The installation and use of Docker in your own Linux computer and the building syntax of containers are out of the scope of this documentation, but instructions can be found elsewhere. As mentioned, we strongly recommend the use of one of the recipe examples in the links above, and adapt it for users' own purposes. Once users' Docker image has been built it can be converted into Singularity format and saved on Setonix. In general, the following steps could be followed:
