pymatgen.io.abinit.flows module

A Flow is a container for Works, and works consist of tasks. Flows are the final objects that can be dumped directly to a pickle file on disk Flows are executed using abirun (abipy).

class Flow(workdir, manager=None, pickle_protocol=-1, remove=False)

Bases: pymatgen.io.abinit.nodes.Node, pymatgen.io.abinit.works.NodeContainer, monty.json.MSONable

This object is a container of work. Its main task is managing the possible inter-dependencies among the work and the creation of dynamic workflows that are generated by callbacks registered by the user.

Important methods for constructing flows:

Parameters

• workdir – String specifying the directory where the works will be produced. if workdir is None, the initialization of the working directory is performed by flow.allocate(workdir).

• manager – TaskManager object responsible for the submission of the jobs. If manager is None, the object is initialized from the yaml file located either in the working directory or in the user configuration dir.

• pickle_protocol – Pickle protocol version used for saving the status of the object. -1 denotes the latest version supported by the python interpreter.

• remove – attempt to remove working directory workdir if directory already exists.

retcode: Return code. 0 if OK. log_file: log file of the Abinit run, use log_file.read() to access its content. stderr_file: stderr file of the Abinit run. use stderr_file.read() to access its content.

Raises

RuntimeError –

register_task(input, deps=None, manager=None, task_class=None, append=False)

Utility function that generates a Work made of a single task

Parameters

• input – AbinitInput

• deps – List of Dependency objects specifying the dependency of this node. An empy list of deps implies that this node has no dependencies.

• manager – The TaskManager responsible for the submission of the task. If manager is None, we use the TaskManager specified during the creation of the work.

• task_class – Task subclass to instantiate. Default: AbinitTask

• append – If true, the task is added to the last work (a new Work is created if flow is empty)

Returns

The generated Work for the task, work[0] is the actual task.

register_work(work, deps=None, manager=None, workdir=None)

Register a new Work and add it to the internal list, taking into account possible dependencies.

Parameters

• work – Work object.

• deps – List of Dependency objects specifying the dependency of this node. An empy list of deps implies that this node has no dependencies.

• manager – The TaskManager responsible for the submission of the task. If manager is None, we use the TaskManager specified during the creation of the work.

• workdir – The name of the directory used for the Work.

Returns

The registered Work.

register_work_from_cbk(cbk_name, cbk_data, deps, work_class, manager=None)

Registers a callback function that will generate the Task of the Work.

Parameters

• cbk_name – Name of the callback function (must be a bound method of self)

• cbk_data – Additional data passed to the callback function.

• deps – List of Dependency objects specifying the dependency of the work.

• work_class – Work class to instantiate.

• manager – The TaskManager responsible for the submission of the task. If manager is None, we use the TaskManager specified during the creation of the Flow.

Returns

The Work that will be finalized by the callback.

reload()

Reload the flow from the pickle file. Used when we are monitoring the flow executed by the scheduler. In this case, indeed, the flow might have been changed by the scheduler and we have to reload the new flow in memory.

rm_and_build()

Remove the workdir and rebuild the flow.

rmtree(ignore_errors=False, onerror=None)

Remove workdir (same API as shutil.rmtree).

select_tasks(nids=None, wslice=None, task_class=None)

Return a list with a subset of tasks.

Parameters

• nids – List of node identifiers.

• wslice – Slice object used to select works.

• task_class – String or class used to select tasks. Ignored if None.

Note

nids and wslice are mutually exclusive. If no argument is provided, the full list of tasks is returned.

set_garbage_collector(exts=None, policy='task')

Enable the garbage collector that will remove the big output files that are not needed.

Parameters

• exts – string or list with the Abinit file extensions to be removed. A default is provided if exts is None

• policy – Either flow or task. If policy is set to ‘task’, we remove the output files as soon as the task reaches S_OK. If ‘flow’, the files are removed only when the flow is finalized. This option should be used when we are dealing with a dynamic flow with callbacks generating other tasks since a Task might not be aware of its children when it reached S_OK.

set_pyfile(pyfile)

Set the path of the python script used to generate the flow.

set_spectator_mode(mode=True)

When the flow is in spectator_mode, we have to disable signals, pickle dump and possible callbacks A spectator can still operate on the flow but the new status of the flow won’t be saved in the pickle file. Usually the flow is in spectator mode when we are already running it via the scheduler or other means and we should not interfere with its evolution. This is the reason why signals and callbacks must be disabled. Unfortunately preventing client-code from calling methods with side-effects when the flow is in spectator mode is not easy (e.g. flow.cancel will cancel the tasks submitted to the queue and the flow used by the scheduler won’t see this change!

set_workdir(workdir, chroot=False)

Set the working directory. Cannot be set more than once unless chroot is True
