Summary

Software Description

NONlinear Mixed-Effect Modeling (NONMEM) software is a FORTRAN program used in population pharmacokinetic analysis. MSI also provides ‘ Perl speaks NONMEM ‘ (PsN) as a frontend for NONMEM.

General Linux

You can load NONMEM in an interactive Linux environment via:

module load nonmem

This also loads tools provided by PsN into your environment. Note that NONMEM at MSI is only available for use within Slurm jobs on Agate that request the appropriate license.

Licensing Info

MSI has access to two seats for NONMEM available on Agate and Mangi, enforced by the Slurm licensing plugin. You can request one of these licenses for your job by adding the following sbatch directive to your job script:

#SBATCH -L nonmem@slurmdb:1

Note that you should only request one license per job. If more jobs are submitted than available licenses, then the additional jobs will be queued to run when the licenses are available.

Slurm Example

The following is an example script that runs the PsN `execute` program:

#!/bin/bash -l
#SBATCH --time=00:30:00
#SBATCH --ntasks=4
#SBATCH --mem=10g
#SBATCH --tmp=10g
#SBATCH -L nonmem@slurmdb:1
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --mail-user=sample_email@umn.edu

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

module load nonmem
execute run1.mod
