Introduction

Provides a build of geant4 on sharcnet CentOS clusters .

Usage

Geant4 comes with many examples useful for testing purposes:

[roberpj@vdi-centos6:/opt/sharcnet/geant4/10.02.02/share/Geant4-10.2.2/examples/extended/analysis] ls 
AnaEx01  AnaEx02  AnaEx03  B1Con  CMakeLists.txt  History  README  shared

Interactive

Consider the AnaEx01 example as follows:

[roberpj@vdi-centos6:~] cd ~/samples/geant4/test-100202
module load gcc/4.9.3 geant4/10.02.02
cp -r /opt/sharcnet/geant4/10.02.02/share/Geant4-10.2.2/examples/extended/analysis/AnaEx01 .
source geant4make.sh
cd AnaEx01
gmake clean_setup
gmake setup
gmake

where ...

[roberpj@vdi-centos6:~/samples/geant4/test-100202/AnaEx01] which AnaEx01 
~/geant4_workdir/bin/Linux-g++/AnaEx01

To run the binary interactively simply do:

[roberpj@vdi-centos6:~/samples/geant4/test-100202/AnaEx01] AnaEx01
Idle> help

Commands : 

Type the number ( 0:end, -n:n level back ) :

Cluster

Once the binary runs interactively as desired submit it to the serial queue:

sqsub -q serial -r 5m -o file.%J ~/geant4_workdir/bin/Linux-g++/AnaEx01
