Get started by using pre-built GAME modules#

GAME modules can be run interactively by users or using our submission scripts [LINK]. To parallelize predictions you can use Predictor Distributor .

Predictor run command:

apptainer run --containall predictor.sif HOST PORT

To use a container with NVIDIA GPU:

apptainer run --containall --nv predictor.sif HOST PORT

To use a container with GPU + Matcher:

apptainer run --containall --nv predictor.sif HOST PORT MATCHER_HOST MATCHER_PORT

NOTE: For AMD GPUs and ROCm framework, please refer to Apptainer’s Documentation.

Evaluator run command:

apptainer run --containall \
    -B /path/to/evaluator_data:/evaluator_data  \
    -B /path/to/predictions:/predictions  \
    evaluator.sif HOST PORT /predictions

Updated list of current GAME modules can be found here: [LINK]

Running the DREAM-RNN container (Matcher not required) with a sample dataset#

To run a test prediction using the DREAM-RNN container and sample Evaluator container:

  1. Download the containers from Zenodo: [LINK]

    mkdir DREAMRNN
    mkdir test_evaluator
    
    cd DREAMRNN
    wget -O dream_rnn_predictor.sif [LINK]
    
    cd test_evaluator
    wget -O evaluator.sif [LINK]
    wget -O evaluator_data.zip [LINK]
    unzip evaluator_data.zip
    mkdir predictions
    

    Note: if you run into issues downloading the evaluator_data folder you may need to manually download it off Zenodo.

  2. Get the IP Address of where the Predictor is running

    Note: PORTs above 1024 are usually free to use

    hostname -I (NOTE: This could be different for different HPC platforms – -I, -i, no flag, etc.)

  3. Start the DREAMRNN Predictor with the IP address and PORT arguments

    apptainer run --containall --nv predictor.sif HOST PORT

    Example: apptainer run --containall --nv predictor.sif 172.16.47.243 5000

  4. Start the test Evaluator

    apptainer run --containall \
        -B /path/to/evaluator_data:/evaluator_data  \
        -B /path/to/predictions:/predictions  \
        evaluator.sif HOST PORT /predictions
    

    Example:

    apptainer run --containall \
        -B /path/to/evaluator_data:/evaluator_data  \
        -B /path/to/predictions:/predictions  \
        evaluator.sif 172.16.47.243 5000 /predictions
    

    The -B mounts local directories so that the Evaluator container can read in the JSON file from a local folder and write the prediction to the locally created /predictions folder.

  5. If the Evaluator-Prediction communication was successful a JSON file will be found in the predictions/ folder.

Yay! You just completed a successful communication between the DREAMRNN model and a test sequence set with GAME :)
