Batch Queueing System (LSF) has been installed on RARFAXP, RARFAX1, and RARFAX2 unix servers. Please use LSF Batch Queueing System to execute jobs(processes) which exhaust CPU time more than 1 hour. Do not run more than two jobs at RARFAXP. Otherwise the jobs (processes) may be canceled.[Example 1]
Assuming a script for a job as "run.sim", as follows.
(file run.sim)
#!/bin/csh
/rarf/u/myname/super/sim.bin
exit
To submit this job, type as follows.
bsub -q axp_long -o sim.o.%J -e sim.e.%J run.sim
Then your jobs will be submitted and result will be written in a file sim.0.xxxxxx and sim.e.xxxxxx (xxxxxx is job number)
[Example 2]
If you want to execute your jobs on RARFAXP (not on RARFAX1 or RARFAX2), then submit the jobs as follows.
bsub -q axp_long -m rarfaxp -o sim.o.%J -e sim.e.%J run.sim
There are three queues, axp_short, axp_long and axp_bg. Maximum CPU time is limited to 2 hours, 24 hours, 7-days, respectively.
