Using batch system at BINP/GCF

Batch system usage simplified

The BINP/GCF batch system is Sun Grid Engine.

To submit a job, do:

1. After login set up your working environment (setupSCTAU, asetup, source build/x86..)
2. Change to the job working directory
3. Submit the job using

qsub -cwd -V -b y -shell n progam_name program_parameters

For instance,

qsub -cwd -V -b y -shell n ctaurun.py test_calor_clusters.py

Where

• qsub - submit a job
• -cwd - work in the current directory, also put job' stdout and stderr there (the files will be program_name.oNUMBER and program_name.eNUBMER)
• -V - transmit environment variables (they were set up at the step 1) into the job
• -b y -shell n - run program_name as an executable file, do not spawn an extra shell

To check job status, issue

qstat

For details please refer to man qsub, man qstat.
