Running on the Origins (Green, Fermat, Wren)

Single Processor Jobs (Wren and Fermat Only)

For short compile jobs on Wren, use bcompile instead of bsub and specify the queue name to be compile. Otherwise, bcompile has identical usage to bsub.

Example 1: bcompile

A typical script would look like:

#BSUB -o output_filename
#BSUB -W 30
#BSUB -m wren
#BSUB -q compile
#BSUB -n 1

f90 my_code

and you would submit it using:

wren% bcompile < script_name

Example 2: bsingle

We also foresee the necessity to run single processor jobs on other machines. For example, some groups prefer to use batch jobs to manipulate files in the hold directories. Current restrictions mean that all single processor requests are promoted to 4 processor requests and will be charged accordingly. However, the command bsingle can be used to submit a single processor job to fermat.

A typical script would look like:

#BSUB -o output_filename
#BSUB -W 30
#BSUB -m fermat
#BSUB -n 1

./executable_name

and you would submit it using:

wren% bsingle < script_name
