OpenMPI and MPI4py installation instructions for Ubuntu 16.04.

-


The instructions are to install MPI4Py by building from source. MPI4Py requires OpenMPI or similar mpicc compiler wrapper. So let us first install OpenMPI. For that, download the installation files first. 
wget https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v3.1/openmpi-3.1.0.tar.gz
Extract the file and open it.
tar -zxf openmpi-3.1.0.tar.gz
cd openmpi-3.1.0/
Configure the installation files by running the following code:
./configure --prefix="/home/$USER/.openmpi"
Now, we can make and install the files.
sudo make -j4
sudo make install
If there are no errors, OpenMPI is successfully installed. To get the env paths linked correctly, include the following in the .bashrc file.
export PATH="$PATH:/home/$USER/.openmpi/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/$USER/.openmpi/lib/"
Run source ~/.bashrc to make the changes available in current session.
Confirm that OpenMPI is successfully installed run:
mpiexec -V
This will print you the version of MPI installed. Good job if you got that right !

Install MPI4Py.

Requirements

sudo apt-get install libopenmpi-dev python-dev python3-dev
Download the installation files.
wget https://bitbucket.org/mpi4py/mpi4py/downloads/mpi4py-3.0.0.tar.gz
Extract the file and open it.
tar -zxf mpi4py-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd mpi4py-3.0.0/
Now we need to build and install the files. For this run these:
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
or use python3 if required.
sudo python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install
If the build and install process went well, you have MPI4Py successfully installed on your system. Now let us confirm that. Run (in the mpi4py-3.0.0 folder):
mpiexec -n 5 python demo/helloworld.py
If the installation went well, you should see the Hello, World! output from 5 different nodes.

SOX - Sound eXchange - How to use SOX for audio processing tasks in research.

This article is part of the on-going Software for Geeks series. SoX stands for So und e X change. SoX is a cross-platform command line audio utility tool that works on Linux, Windows and MacOS. It is very helpful in the following areas while dealing with audio and music files. Audio File Converter Editing audio files Changing audio attributes Adding audio effects Plus lot of advanced sound manipulation features In general, audio data is described by following four characteristics: Rate – The sample rate is in samples per second. For example, 44100/8000 Data size – The precision the data is stored in.  For example, 8/16 bits Data encoding – What encoding the data type uses. For example, u-law,a-law Channels – How many channels are contained in the audio data.  For example, Stereo 2 channels SoX supports over 20 audio file formats. To get the list of all supported formats, execute sox -h from the command line. One of the major benefits of a command-line...

Sox of Silence - Original post - http://digitalcardboard.com/blog/2009/08/25/the-sox-of-silence/

The SoX of Silence SoX is, by their own definition,  the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation. And no doubt it’s full of fun with slicing and dicing and playback and recording and filtering and effects capabilities. But SoX is a command line tool, which means obscure syntax and parameters in order to get things done. I’ve been trying off and on for months to try to understand the  silence  filter from within SoX, which allows one to remove silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Sounds, simple, doesn’t it?  Well, it should be. Below is the  man page for the  silence  filter : silence  [-l] above-periods [duration threshold[d|%] [below-periods duration threshold[d|%]] Removes silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Silence is anything below a specified threshold. The above-periods value is used to indicate if audio should be trimmed at the beginning of the audio. A value of zero indicates no...

How to get video or audio duration of a file using ffmpeg?

Today we will learn How to get the duration of a file using ffmpeg 1. Format Container Duration - [This works for both Video and Audio Files - better to report numbers using this command] ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration \ -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 input.mp4     2. Video Stream Duration - [This works only for Videos]   ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=duration \ -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 input.mp4     Content author - https://superuser.com/questions/650291/how-to-get-video-duration-in-seconds
