23 -Describe the audience of this collab.
21 +We have setup a Jupyter Hub service with tvb-nest as backed already prepared. You will only need an HBP account for accessing this: [[https:~~/~~/tvb-nest.apps.hbp.eu/>>url:https://tvb-nest.apps.hbp.eu/]]
22 +
23 +This JupyterHub installation works smoothly with HBP Collab user credentials (login only once at HBP and get access here too). We use a custom Docker Hub tvb-nest image as a backend, and thus a ready to use environment is available immediately, without the need of any local installation or download. This should be the ideal env for demos, presentations or even workshops with tvb-nest.
24 +
25 +**[[image:https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ytx9eYpMcL3cCScX2_Sxm4CeBW0xbKW3xKsfO2zSId10bW0gw1kiN2_SkexyYBCsF-sKsu0MaJC4cZvGVfQPjMoPBLiePbkvXOZd8BgY3Q0kFzSkRCqQ183lgDQv_6PYoqS3s7uJ||height="149" width="614"]]**
26 +
27 +Currently, the users can access 2 folders: //TVB-NEST-Examples// and //Contributed-Notebooks//.
28 +
29 +The notebooks under **TVB-NEST-Examples** are public, shared by everyone accessing the instance. Periodically, we will clean all changes under TVB-NEST-Examples folder (by redeploying the pod image), and show the original example notebooks submitted on our Github repo. If users intend to contribute here, they are encouraged to submit changes through Pull Requests ([[https:~~/~~/github.com/the-virtual-brain/tvb-multiscale>>url:https://github.com/the-virtual-brain/tvb-multiscale]])
30 +
31 +**[[image:https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/nnsM0mhXQinmQsJwZwwwe5Sx7f-tZc8t4ELnCh9DwksyVEPUE-jixJTkhoP4l25VKwlDGoXACWtnuxQM9NMOCYbQOzDesgMDlT3sntow___vsEqRVd4OwqMY4BPyBiLJ32BnUbmM||height="267" width="614"]]**
32 +
33 +Folder **Contributed-Notebooks** is not shared. Here, users can experiment with their own private examples. This folder is persisted on restarts in the user HBP Collab personal space. Thus, users will be able to access their work even after a redeploy. (e.g. during a workshop every participant could have in here his own exercise solution).
34 +
35 +== Running TVB-NEST locally ==
36 +
37 +See more on Github [[https:~~/~~/github.com/the-virtual-brain/tvb-multiscale>>url:https://github.com/the-virtual-brain/tvb-multiscale]]  and check this notebook example: [[https:~~/~~/drive.ebrains.eu/f/b3ea5740fcc34f12af7a/?dl=1>>url:https://drive.ebrains.eu/f/b3ea5740fcc34f12af7a/?dl=1]]
38 +
39 +This notebook will be ok to download and try yourself locally, after you have also prepared and launched locally a Docker env: [[https:~~/~~/hub.docker.com/r/thevirtualbrain/tvb-nest>>url:https://hub.docker.com/r/thevirtualbrain/tvb-nest]]
40 +
41 +This is the path recommended for people working closely with tvb-nest. They are able to download it in their local work env and code freely and fast with it.
42 +
43 +== Running tvb-nest jobs on CSCS infrastructure from HBP collab ==
44 +
45 +The CSCS and HBP Collab deployment of tvb-nest is a good example to show how tvb-nest can run with an HPC backend. This will be efficient when the simulation jobs are very large. From our experience, with small jobs, the stage-in/out time is considerable, and then the user might be better with just a local run. Also, this deployment requires that **the user have an active CSCS personal account**. More details on how to use this deployment can be found in this movie: [[https:~~/~~/drive.google.com/open?id=1osF263FK_NjhZcBJfpSy-F7qkbYs3Q-E>>url:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1osF263FK_NjhZcBJfpSy-F7qkbYs3Q-E]]
46 +
47 +* Create a collab space of your own
48 +* Clone and run in your HBP Collab Hub ([[https:~~/~~/lab.ebrains.eu/>>url:https://lab.ebrains.eu/]]) the notebooks from here: [[https:~~/~~/drive.ebrains.eu/d/245e6c13082f45bcacfa/>>url:https://drive.ebrains.eu/d/245e6c13082f45bcacfa/]]
49 +** test_tvb-nest_installation.ipynb  Run the cosimulate_tvb_nest.sh script on the CSCS Daint supercomputer. In this example, basically we are running the //installation_test.py// file which is in the docker folder.
50 +** run_custom_cosimulation.ipynb For this example we are using the //cosimulate_with_staging.sh// script in order to pull the tvb-nest docker image and we are using a custom simulation script (from Github page) which will be uploaded in the staging in phase
51 +** run_custom_cosimulation_from_notebook.ipynb  This example is running the same simulation as the example above but instead of using an external file with the simulation code we will build a simulation file from a few notebook cells and we will pass this file to the CSCS server.
52 +
53 +Few technical details about what we do in these notebooks:
54 +
55 +1. Prepare UNICORE client api.
56 +
57 +PYUNICORE client library is available on PYPI. In order to use it you have to install it using:
58 +
59 +>pip install pyunicore
60 +
61 +Next step is to configure client registry and what supercomputer to use
62 +
63 +>tr = unicore_client.Transport(oauth.get_token())
64 +>r = unicore_client.Registry(tr, unicore_client._HBP_REGISTRY_URL)
65 +># use "DAINT-CSCS" change if another supercomputer is prepared for usage
66 +>client = r.site('DAINT-CSCS')
67 +
68 +1. Prepare job submission
69 +
70 +In this step we have to prepare a JSON object which will be used in the job submission process.
71 +
72 +># What job will execute (command/executable)
73 +>my_job['Executable'] = 'job.sh'
74 +>
75 +># To import files from remote sites to the job’s working directory
76 +>my_job['Imports'] = [{
77 +> "From": "https:~/~/raw.githubusercontent.com/the-virtual-brain/tvb-multiscale/update-collab-examples/docker/cosimulate_tvb_nest.sh",
78 +> "To" : job.sh
79 +>}]
80 +>
81 +># Specify the resources to request on the remote system
82 +>my_job['Resources'] = { 
83 +> "CPUs": "1"}
84 +
85 +1. Actual job submission
86 +
87 +In order to submit a job we have to use the JSON built in the previous step and also if we have some local files, we have to give their paths as a list of strings (inputs argument) so the UNICORE library will upload them in the job's working directory in the staging in phase, before launching the job.
88 +
89 +>job = site_client.new_job(job_description=my_job, inputs=['/path1', '/path2'])
90 +>job.properties
91 +
92 +1. Wait until job is completed and check the results
93 +
94 +Wait until the job is completed using the following command
95 +
96 +># TRUE or FALSE
97 +>job.is_running()
98 +
99 +Check job's working directory for the output files/directories using
100 +
101 +>wd = job.working_dir
102 +>wd.listdir()
103 +
104 +From working job you can preview files content and download files
105 +
106 +># Read 'stdout' file
107 +>out = wd.stat("stdout")
108 +>f = out.raw()
109 +>all_lines = f.read().splitlines()
110 +>all_lines[-20:]
111 +>
112 +># Download 'outputs/res/results.npy' file
113 +>wd.stat("outputs/res/results.npy").download("results.npy")
