One Time Setup

Email cpo@slac.stanford.edu requesting access to the queue, along with your SLAC account name. It might take a couple of hours to add you to the appropriate permissions lists.

Add the following line to your .cshrc file:

setenv PATH ${PATH}:/afs/slac/g/suncat/bin

If you have a line like the following in .cshrc remove it:

eval `/usr/local/bin/environ /bin/tcsh -i${?prompt} -e emacs:vi`

Submitting Jobs

Login to a "noric" machine and execute a command like this:

gpaw-bsub -o mo2n.log -q suncatq -a openmpi -n 8 gpaw-python mo2n.py

NOTE Because of a file-locking bug in afs, all output from GPAW (apart from the above mo2n.log file) should go to nfs. When the full farm arrives we will have our own NFS space. In the meantime, you can create your own temporary directory in /nfs/slac/work. This directory will not be delieted for >20 days, I believe.

Useful Commands

Login to a "noric" machine to execute these.

bjobs (shows your current list of batch jobs and jobIds)
bjobs -u all -q suncatq (show jobs of all users in the suncatq)
bpeek <jobId>
bkill <jobId>
lsload -R suncat (show CPU loading of all suncat machines)
lshosts -R suncat (show list of suncat machines and associated info)
bhosts -w suncatfarm (show status of hosts, from a batch perspective)

History of host CPU time, memory usage can be found in files in /scswork/ranger.
