Stata

Using Stata interactively

[test@login31 ~]$ srun --mem 10G --x11 --pty bash
srun: job 3179341 queued and waiting for resources
srun: job 3179341 has been allocated resources
[test@compute-092 ~]$ module load stata
[test@compute-092 ~]$ module list

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) JHPCE_ROCKY9_DEFAULT_ENV   2) JHPCE_tools/3.0   3) stata/17

[test@compute-092 ~]$ xstata

Running Stata program in batch mode

1. Write your Stata source in a file with .do extension (e.g. stata-demo1.do)

   program define hello
   di "Hello There World 123"
   end
   hello
   

2. Write a submit job script (e.g. stata-demo1.sh)

   #!/bin/bash
   
   #SBATCH --mem=2G
   #SBATCH --time=2:00
   
   module load stata
   stata -b stata-demo1.do
   

3. Submit your matlab job

   [test@login31 ~]$ sbatch stata-demo1.sh
   Submitted batch job 3179530
   

4. Monitor the job status

   [test@login31 ~]$ squeue --me
                JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
               3179530    shared stata-de    test  R       0:01      1 compute-092
   

5. When the job is finished, the output files are created in your Current Working Directory

   -rw-r--r-- 1 test test   0 Mar 13 17:29 slurm-3179530.out
   -rw-r--r-- 1 test test 890 Mar 13 17:29 stata-demo1.log
   

6. Look at the result

   [test@login31 ~]$ cat stata-demo1.log
   ...
   . do "stata-demo1.do" 
   
   . program define hello
     1. di "Hello There World 123"
     2. end
   
   . hello
   Hello There World 123
   
   . 
   end of do-file
