Towards a complete solution ...
PSE: problem description (physics, chemistry, ...)
Task description: I need 64 nodes of SP-2 at Argonne to run my
MPI-based executable “a.out” you can find in “/tmp/users/haupt” onmarylin.npac.syr.edu. In addition, I need any idle workstationwith jdk1.1 installed. Make sure that the output of my a.out is

Resource Allocation: run, transfer data, run
