Questions

  • How do I execute a NextGen run?

Objectives

  • Recognize methods to execute NextGen models
  • Execute a NextGen run using NGIAB

Model Execution using guide.sh

guide.sh is used to execute pre-configured NextGen runs in NGIAB. These settings can be configured by users ahead of time using the Data Preprocess tool. Execute the following commands:

BASH 

cd NextGen
git clone https://github.com/CIROH-UA/NGIAB-CloudInfra.git
cd NGIAB-CloudInfra
./guide.sh

guide.sh will prompt you to enter input data pathways and allow you to select a computational mode (serial or parallel processing). After the run is complete, guide.sh will give you the option to evaluate model predictions and visualize results (discussed in the next two episodes).

Model Execution using Data Preprocess tool

A secondary method for executing a NextGen run in NGIAB is by using the Data Preprocess tool’s CLI. The -a argument in the command will automatically run NGIAB after preprocessing selected data. As this module is being updated constantly, check back on its GitHub page for the latest updates on its functionality.

Your Turn

Use guide.sh to execute a NextGen run in NGIAB using your preprocessed data.

Extra Credit: Use the Data Preprocess tool to automatically execute a NextGen run in NGIAB.

Key Points

  • To execute a NextGen run in NGIAB with full functionality, use guide.sh in the NGIAB container.
  • A NextGen run in NGIAB can also be automatically executed post-preprocessing using the Data Preprocess tool.
