Refer to this page for more information.

  1. First, ensure that you are using an administrative shell.
  2. Install with powershell.exe
  3. With PowerShell, you must ensure Get-ExecutionPolicy is not Restricted. It’s better to use Bypass to bypass the policy to get things installed or AllSigned for quite a bit more security.
    • Run Get-ExecutionPolicy. If it returns Restricted, then run Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned or Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process.
  4. Now run this command in powershell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
  1. Wait a few seconds for the command to complete. If you don’t see any errors, you are ready to use Chocolatey! Type choco or choco -?

Utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation in CUDA

In this post I’ve written about how to utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in CUDA. PTX is a low-level assembly-like language that is used to represent the GPU code. The PTX code is then compiled to the machine code by the NVIDIA driver at runtime. This process is called Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. But before I write about how to use PTX JIT compilation, I’ll provide some background on why you might want to use it.

Setup LAMMPS

Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is a classical molecular dynamics code that can be used to model atoms or, more generally, as a parallel particle simulator at various scales. The complete documentation of LAMMPS can be found here. In this post, I will provide a guide on how to setup LAMMPS on a Linux machine. My setup is on a cluster with NVIDIA GPUs, UCX, and OpenMPI. Also, we have a built-in module system to load the necessary modules.
