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 and GPU support

• version 2.7.3 with CPU and GPU support, installed in /apps/eb/Beast/2.7.3-foss-2021b-CUDA-11.4.1/. This version of Beast is using beagle-lib/4.0.0 with GPU support.

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

module load Beast/2.7.3-foss-2021b-CUDA-11.4.1

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 X Desktop Sessions in Open OnDemand.

1. Start an X Desktop Session via Open OnDemand
2. Open the Terminal application in your X Desktop session (icon at the bottom of the Desktop or via the "Applications" button in the top left)

• beast/beauti in this app is set to 16GB max heap memory. If larger memory is needed, please contact us.

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:A100:1
#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/2.7.3-foss-2021b-CUDA-11.4.1 

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. You need to use #SBATCH --gres=gpu:A100:1 to run the job on a A100 GPU node.

Example of submission to the queue:
