Maple

Maple is a symbolic and numeric computing environment as well as a multi-paradigm programming language. It covers several areas of technical computing, such as symbolic mathematics, numerical analysis, data processing, visualization, and others.

Loading Maple

To set the environment, load the module:

module load maple 

Running Maple

Do not use Maple on a login node. To use Maple interactively for test and debug, either use an interactive session, or if a GUI is needed, use the HPC-VCL. To confirm that the session is not on a login node, type hostname.

Running Maple from the GUI

HPC-VCL

To run Maple using the GUI, log in to the HPC-VCL, open a terminal, and type:

module load maple 
xmaple

Batch Maple

Here is an example Maple script with a sample batch script. For more information on submitting batch scripts, see the documentation on running jobs.

Create a text file called script.mpl with the following Maple command:

solve(x^3 + 1.5*x = 27);

To run this serial Maple calculation in batch mode, create a text file called submit.csh containing:

#!/bin/tcsh
#BSUB -W 10
#BSUB -n 1
#BSUB -o out.%J
#BSUB -e err.%J
module load maple
maple < script.mpl

The job can be submitted as

bsub < submit.csh 

The script submit.csh is equivalent to the interactive bsub command above; it requests 1 core for 10 minutes. Check the documentation on running jobs to customize the batch script.
