DOCK 3.8 testing on C7

These are instructions to run the DOCK 3.8 test on Cluster 7.

1. Log in and start screen

Log in to Cluster 7 first. The exact SSH command may depend on whether you are onsite, on VPN, or going through a portal/jump host. Once you are on C7, start a screen or tmux session so the job keeps running if your SSH disconnects. Start a screen or tmux session so the job keeps running if your SSH disconnects: Screen:

screen -S dock_test

Tmux alternative:

tmux new -s dock_test

2. Make a working folder

Use your own writable space, not the shared DOCK install directory.

Example:

cd /nfs/home/xyz/hdd02
mkdir -p docking
cd docking

3. Load DOCK

module load dock

Check the DOCK paths:

echo $DOCK_INSTALL_PATH
echo $DOCKBASE

4. Copy the test files

cp -r ${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/test/docking test
cd test

Remove old copied output. The shared test folder may already contain someone else's old results:

rm -rf output
rm -f split_database_index

5. Edit test_subdock.sh

The copied test_subdock.sh may still point back to the shared DOCK install. Edit it so it writes to your local test folder.

Change:

find test_ligs -name '*.db2.tgz' -exec realpath {} \; > ${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/test/docking/split_database_index

to:

find test_ligs -name '*.db2.tgz' -exec realpath {} \; > split_database_index

Change:

export EXPORT_DEST="${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/test/docking/output"
export INPUT_SOURCE="${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/test/docking/split_database_index"
export DOCKFILES="${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/test/docking/dockfiles"

to:

export EXPORT_DEST="$(pwd)/output"
export INPUT_SOURCE="$(pwd)/split_database_index"
export DOCKFILES="$(pwd)/dockfiles"

Keep:

export DOCKEXEC="${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/dock3/dock64"
