AutoDock-GPU

The AutoDock-GPU Suite is a growing collection of methods for computational docking and virtual screening, for use in structure-based drug discovery and exploration of the basic mechanisms of biomolecular structure and function. More info on AutoDock-GPU be located at https://ccsb.scripps.edu/autodock/ and official github page

Interactive shell with docker

The following command will launch an interactive shell in the AutoDock-GPU container using docker mounting $HOME/data from the underlying system as /data in the container:

$ docker run -it --rm --gpus all -v $HOME/data:/data --workdir /data nvcr.io/hpc/autodock:2020.06

Where:

  • -it: start the container with an interactive terminal (short for --interactive --tty)
  • --rm: make container ephemeral (removes container on exit)
  • -v $(pwd):/host_pwd: bind mount the current working directory into the container as /host_pwd
  • --gpus all: vanilla docker GPU provisioning
  • --workdir /data: sets working directory inside the container

This should produce a root prompt within the container:

root@3a8c8b7c3a88:/data#

Running with Singularity

Pull the image

Save the NGC AutoDock-GPU container as a local Singularity image file:

$ singularity build autodock.simg docker://nvcr.io/hpc/autodock:2020.06

The AutoDock-GPU Singularity image is now saved in the current directory as autodock.simg

Note: Singularity/2.x

In order to pull NGC images with singularity version 2.x and earlier, NGC container registry authentication credentials are required.

To set your NGC container registry authentication credentials:

$ export SINGULARITY_DOCKER_USERNAME='$oauthtoken'
$ export SINGULARITY_DOCKER_PASSWORD=

More information describing how to obtain and use your NVIDIA NGC Cloud Services API key can be found here.

Note: Singularity 3.1.x - 3.2.x

There is currently a bug in Singularity 3.1.x and 3.2.x causing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be incorrectly set within the container environment. As a workaround The LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be unset before invoking Singularity:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" singularity exec ...

Command line execution

In order to run a test benchmark: download, permission, and run the example script from the NGC Examples Repository.

wget ...
chmod +x check.py
singularity run --nv -B ${PWD}:/host_pwd --pwd /host_pwd ./check.py

Interactive shell

The following command will launch an interactive shell in the AutoDock-GPU container using singularity shell:

$ singularity shell --nv -B

Where:

  • --nv: expose the host GPU(s) to the container
  • -B: bind user-defined directory into the container

This should produce a Singularity shell prompt within the container:

Singularity: Invoking an interactive shell within container...
