Prepare PVM Environment
  • Choose a machine as a PVM daemon machine, accessible from any cluster node

  • Configure ssh, so that my user can login to the PVM daemon machine; in the following steps, as an example this user is called bit

  • Download PVM from http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm, compile it

  • Set up the following environment variables
    • export PVM_ROOT=/home/bit/pvm3
    • export PVM_ARCH=LINUX64
    • export PVM_DPATH=$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd
    • export PATH=$PATH:$PVM_ROOT/lib
    • export PATH=$PATH:$PVM_ROOT/lib/$PVM_ARCH
    • export PATH=$PATH:$PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH

  • Start PVM daemon
    echo quit | pvm

  • Edit execution host list in
    Leadit -> Global Preferences -> Parallel Computing
    Note: You need a docking license (typically from a license server) for each cluster node.

  • For PVM_TMP enter a path which can be reached by each cluster machine in
    Leadit -> Global Preferences -> Parallel Computing

  • Check that USE_PVM_FEATURE is enabled in
    Leadit -> Global Preferences -> Parameters & Flags


  • Set parameter FLEXX to leadit in
    Leadit -> Global Preferences -> Parameters & Flags

  • Add a link to the leadit executable to the PVM bin path, e.g.
    ln -s $PWD/leadit /home/bit/pvm3/bin/$PVM_ARCH/leadit

  • Download the attached script screen.bat and save it as a template for your future screening runs


Prepare and Start Screening
  • Start LeadIT and prepare your receptor with the receptor wizard, then save your project
    Note: The protein will be enclosed in the project
  • Adapt screen.bat concerning project and library file name

  • Start LeadIT with this screening script
    leadit -b screen.bat
