2 Install SHUD and rSHUD

2.1 SUNDIALS/CVODE

The SHUD model requires the support of the SUNDIALS or CVODE library. SUNDIALS is a SUite of Nonlinear and Differential/ALgebraic equation Solvers, consists of six solvers. CVODE is a solver for stiff and nonstiff ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems (initial value problem) given in explicit form \(y' = f(t,y)\). The methods used in CVODE are variable-order, variable-step multistep methods. You can install the entire SUNDIALS suite or CVODE only.

Since the SUNDIALS/CVODE keeps updating periodically and significantly, the function names and structure are changed accordingly, we suggest to use the specific version of the solver, rather than the latest solver.

SUNDIALS/CVODE is available in LLNL: https://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/sundials-software

The installation of CVODE v3.x:

  1. Go to your Command-Line and enter your workspace and unzip your CVODE source code here.
  2. make directories for CVODE, including builddir.
mkdir builddir
cd builddir/
  1. Try ccmake. Install cmake if you don’t have one.
ccmake 
  1. Run ccmake to configure your compile environment.
ccmake ../sundials/cvode-5.0.0

Screenshot of Step 1 in ccmake This is an empty configure. Press c to start the configuration.

Screen short of Step 2 in ccmake The default configuration. Make sure the value for three lines:

BUILD_CVODE = ON
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = ~/sundials
EXAMPLES_INSTALL_PATH = ~/sundials/examples

After the modification of values, press c to confirm configuration.

Screenshot of Step 3 in ccmake The ccmake configures the environment automatically. When the configuration is ready, press g to generate and exit.

  1. Then you run commands below:
make
make install 

2.2 SHUD

Configuration in Makefile:

  1. Path of SUNDIALS_DIR. [CRITICAL]. If you install SUNDIALS into ~/sundials, you don’t change this line..
  2. Path of OpenMP if the parallel is preferred.
  3. Path of SRC_DIR, default is SRC_DIR = .
  4. Path of BUILT_DIR, default is BUILT_DIR = .

After updating the SUNDIALS path in the Makefile, user can compile the SHUD with:

make clean
make shud

There are more options to compile the SHUD code:

  • make all - clean, then make both shud and shud_omp
  • make help - help information
  • make shud - make SHUD executable
  • make shud_omp - make shud_omp with OpenMP support

2.2.1 OpenMP

If parallel-computing is prefered, please install OpenMP. For mac:

brew install llvm clang
brew install libomp
compile flags for OpenMP: 
  -Xpreprocessor -fopenmp -lomp
Library/Include paths:
  -L/usr/local/opt/libomp/lib 
  -I/usr/local/opt/libomp/include

2.2.2 Run SHUD executables.

After the successful installation and compile, you can run SHUD models using

./shud <projectname>

Default screen print of shud and command tips Command line pattern is:

./shud [-0][-p projectfile] [-o output] [-n Num_Threads] <project_name>
  • -0 Dummy simulation. Load input and write output, but no calculation.

  • <project name> is the name of the project.

  • [-p projectfile] Specify the project file, which includes the path to input files and output path.

  • [-o output_folder] Output directory. Default is output/projname.out

  • [-n Num_Threads] Number of threads to run with OpenMP, which works with shud_omp only. Usage:

When the shud program starts to run, the screen should look like this: Screen print of SHUD running.

2.3 rSHUD

This rSHUD is an R package. What you need is to install the package as a source code package. For example:

install_github('SHUD-System/rSHUD')

The prerequisite packages for rSHUD are:

  • Rcpp
  • reshape2
  • ggplot2
  • gridExtra
  • grid
  • fields
  • xts
  • hydroGOF
  • zoo
  • raster (>= 2.1.0)
  • sp
  • rgeos
  • RTriangle
  • rgdal (>= 1.1.0)
  • proj4
  • abind
  • utils
  • lubridate
  • geometry
  • methods
  • ncdf4
  • GGally
  • doParallel

One of the required packages, RTriangle, must be installed via GitHub instead of CRAN, using command:

install_github('shulele/RTriangle/pkg')
