From Tran@metsci.com Tue Dec 28 12:17:22 1999 Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 12:01:23 -0400 From: "Tran, Tuan" To: 'Wojtek Furmanski' Cc: "Steinman, Jeff S." , Tom Pulikal , Krishnan Rangarajan , Dinesh Kasthuril Subject: Janeway [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] Mr. Furmanski, I do use miser to schedule jobs on NRL's SGI Origin 2000 (janeway). Please use the parameters files (*.par) on janeway in the directory (/scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA) to test the 100,000 random moving objects scenario. This directory contains the parameters I used to produce the result of the 96 processor you received from Jeff Steinman. Below is the instruction for submitting jobs to miser. If I can be of assistance to you or your students during the week, please don't hesitate to contact me (703) 787-8700 (Receptionist) OR (703) 437-2472 (Direct line) Tuan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- The setup files for submitting jobs to miser on janeway is in the directory: /scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA/shm96 job miser run segment Please make a copy of this directory and make the changes below. Execute the script "miser" in this directory to submit your job. Use the following command to check the job queue: warp - list the job queue miser_kill -j - to remove a scheduled job where bid is batch id for your job listed in the command "warp". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- File: job 1 #! /bin/ksh 2 MPC_GANG=OFF 3 export MPC_GANG 4 MPC_NUM_THREADS=96 5 export MPC_NUM_THREADS 6 /scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA/shm96/run On line 6, specify the complete path to the script "run" in this directory (i.e. if you put a copy of this directory shm96 in /scratch/furmanski/shm96 then line 6 would contains /scratch/furmanski/shm96/run ) ----- File: miser 1 #!/bin/csh 2 miser_submit -q warp -f /scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA/shm96/segment /scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA/shm96/job; date & On line 2, please specify the complete path to the files : "segment" and "job" in this directory. (i.e. if you put a copy of this directory shm96 in /scratch/furmanski/shm96 then line 2 would contains miser_submit -q warp -f /scratch/furmanski/shm96/segment /scratch/furmanski/shm96/job; date & ) ----- File: run 1 #! /bin/tcsh 2 3 cd /scratch/ttran/ParNSS-Beta100kA 4 ./ParNSS.shm 96 >& shm96.log On line 3, specify the complete path to the ParNSS executable and SPEEDES' parameter files (i.e. speedes.par, RanMot.par ...) ----- File: segment # resource schedule SEGMENT TIME 96h NCPUS 96 MEMORY 96g STATIC This file request resources from the system: cpu time, number of cpu, and memory. Please note that the 100,000 random moving objects scenario does not require 1gig of memory per processor or take one hour to run. This is just a default parameters (1hour/processor and 1gig/processor) that I use to submit jobs to miser. -----Original Message----- From: Wojtek Furmanski [mailto:furm@npac.syr.edu] Sent: Monday, June 14, 1999 10:54 AM To: Tran, Tuan Cc: Steinman, Jeff S.; Tom Pulikal; Krishnan Rangarajan; Dinesh Kasthuril; Wojtek Furmanski Subject: Re: FTP site Tuan, yes, please change the password. Million thanks for your help! We will try your smaller model on Linux and we also just got NRL account so we will run the original model on janeway. Do you mind if we would still ask you some questions this week in case of problems? One question I have right now is related to 'miser' i.e. job scheduler and CPU allocator on janeway. Could you tell us how precisely should we use it to get the most meaningful timing results? Also, I got from Jeff results of your run on 96 processors and, to start with, I would like to check that we can reproduce these numbers. So, wheather or not you called miser to allocate 96 nodes and to run this test, please send us the exact command lines you used. Thanks again, Regards, Wojtek On Mon, 14 Jun 1999, Tran, Tuan wrote: > Mr. Furmanski, > > Since you have already downloaded the special release of SPEEDES over the > weekend, I'll now change the the password of the "tran" login account. > Should > you require access again, please contact me. > > Tuan >
