In bash, source ~davidsch/mlearntut.sh for environment.
If you use cshell, start a bash shell first, or look at the script to modify for cshell.
The script clears environment variables like PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and sets PATH to the rhel7 default, and puts a miniconda bin dir at the frount. Then it activates the 'mlearntut' environment in the conda install.
We will use Keras and tensorflow
If resources are getting tight on the interactive nodes, you can launch jobs on the batch. You can launch the jobs in 'interactive' mode so you can see output, however you can't do any graphics or plotting from jobs running on batch. Here is an example:
bsub -q psanaq -I python ex01_keras_train.py
I'm getting a big MPI warning when I run these jobs. I think it is safe to ignore it. To do so, do
export OMPI_MCA_mpi_warn_on_fork=0
I am not sure why we need to set mpi_warn_on_fork=0. Although we aren't using MPI, our hdf5 library is built with it, so some MPI aware code is running and complaining.
The examples in the tutorial do
sys.stdout.flush()
calls so that we can see print output more immediately while running on batch interactively, without the flush calls, the batch system queues up program output.
