A complex job-submission script

You may wish to direct your job to a queue with a specific queue complex. A complex is simply a label that indicates some trait of the machine that is running a particular queue.

For example, i1.msi.umn.edu runs IRIX 6.5. The following script shows how to request resources using the '-l' option.


---------------cut here-----------------
#!/bin/sh

# run in the current working directory
#$ -cwd

# request resources specifying a complex

#$ -l irix

# compile your executable
cc foo.c

# run your executable
./a.out


---------------cut here-----------------

A list of our queues and their complexes can be found here.

Please note that it is strongly recommended that you compile your code from within your job-submission script. This way, your code will be optimized for whichever processor/OS combination your job ends up on.


This information is available in alternative formats upon request by individuals with disabilities. Please send email to alt-format@msi.umn.edu or call 612-624-0528.
