BEAST2 BEAST

Description

BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. More information: http://beast2.org/; http://beast.community/

Running Program

Versions with CPU support

  • version 1.10.4, installed in /apps/eb/Beast/1.10.4-GCC-8.3.0. This version of Beast is using beagle-lib v3.0.1 with CPU support.

To use this version of Beast, please first load the module with 

module load Beast/1.10.4-GCC-8.3.0
  • version 2.6.2, installed in /apps/eb/Beast/2.6.2-GCC-8.3.0. This version of Beast is using beagle-lib v3.0.1 with CPU support.

To use this version of Beast, please first load the module with 

module load Beast/2.6.2-GCC-8.3.0
  • version 2.6.3, installed in /apps/eb/Beast/2.6.3-foss-2019b. This version of Beast is using beagle-lib v3.0.1 with CPU support.

To use this version of Beast, please first load the module with 

module load Beast/2.6.3-foss-2019b

Versions with CPU and GPU support

  • version 2.6.3 with CPU and GPU support, installed in /apps/eb/Beast/2.6.3-fosscuda-2019b. This version of Beast is using beagle-lib/3.1.2 with GPU support.

To use this version of Beast, please first load the module with 

module load Beast/2.6.3-fosscuda-2019b

please note: beagle-lib/3.1.2 with GPU support was built for NVDIA Tesla V100 GPU device (SM70), but it also works for K20Xm, K40m, and P100 GPU nodes.

Run Beast in an interactive session

Beast is a X window program with graphic interface. It has to be run in an interactive session. Please refer to Run interactive Jobs and Run X window Jobs.

Start X Terminal (Mac), X window (Windows) at the local computer first, then 

xqlogin
module load Beast/2.6.3-foss-2019b
beauti
...
beast
...
exit
  • beast/beauti in this app is set to 16GB max heap memory. If larger memory is needed, please contact us.

Run Beast with CPU support in a batch job

Example job submission script (sub.sh) to run version 2.6.3 in a batch job: 

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=testBeast-CPU        
#SBATCH --partition=batch            
#SBATCH --ntasks=1                  	
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=8        
#SBATCH --mem=40gb                    
#SBATCH --time=120:00:00           
#SBATCH --output=log.%j.out     
#SBATCH --error=log.%j.err          
#SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu  
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL   

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

ml Beast/2.6.3-foss-2019b

beast -threads 8 [options]

Example of submission to the queue: 

sbatch  sub.sh

where [options] need to be replaced by the options (command and arguments) you want to use. Other parameters of the job, such as the maximum wall clock time, maximum memory, the number of cores per node, and the job name need to be modified appropriately as well.

Run Beast with GPU support in a batch job

Example job submission script (sub.sh) to run version 2.6.3 with GPU support in a batch job: 

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=testBeast-GPU
#SBATCH --partition=gpu_p
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:P100:1
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=4
#SBATCH --mem=20gb
#SBATCH --time=120:00:00
#SBATCH --output=log.%j.out
#SBATCH --error=log.%j.err
#SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu  
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL   

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

ml Beast/2.6.3-fosscuda-2019b

beast -threads 4 -beagle -beagle_GPU [options]

where [options] need to be replaced by the options (command and arguments) you want to use. Other parameters of the job, such as the maximum wall clock time, maximum memory, the number of cores per node, and the job name need to be modified appropriately as well. Please note, you can also use #SBATCH --gres=gpu:K40:1 or #SBATCH --gres=gpu:K20:1 to run the job on a K40 or a K20 GPU node.

Example of submission to the queue: 

sbatch  sub.sh
