Here is a brief intoduction to using Condor to run the prostate V5 cases. I am running condor on CAE solarus machines. First the source code (I am using np_5.c) must be compiled using an older version of the gcc for appropriate binaries: condor_compile /usr/oss/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc -o a.out np_5.c -lm Description file 1. If no platform is specified, Condor will use its default, which is to run the job on a machine which has the same architecture and operating system as the machine from which it was submitted. 2. If you are concerned with timing, set universe= vanilla 3. Make sure you have set permissions for the input and output directories fs setacl . net:cs rw I called the above file submitFile To have condor run the jobs, just type condor_submit submitFile If your submition was successful, you should get: Submitting job(s). Logging submit event(s). 1 job(s) submitted to cluster 60422. Note that the value 60422 indicates the reference number for the jobs submitted. You will need this number to modify your jobs (see below). To check on the progress of my jobs, I would type in condor_q -global laurag If your request was successfull you will get: -- Schedd: whoppers.cae.wisc.edu : <144.92.13.58:42504> ID OWNER SUBMITTED RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD 60422.0 laurag 11/11 15:14 0+00:00:00 I 0 5.3 a.out level5dataProstateV5/35_5.map 1 jobs; 1 idle, 0 running, 0 held To remove a job from the queue, first type "codor_q" to get the ID number. If the ID number was 60422.0, then you can remove job with ID 4.0 by entering condor_rm 60422.0 For more information about using Condor, see the manual at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/Contents.html http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/ There are sample input files at http://www.cae.wisc.edu/manuals/condor-quickstart/?subpage=standard_submit_examples.html For information about the CAE computers, see http://www.cae.wisc.edu/labs/unix/cc-unix.shtml
