Submitting you job at ABCC

Do not run your job interactively (unless you want Karol to hate you). You have to use a script (say runme.csh) that contains all the instructions to :
  1. run the program on their cluster
  2. transfer the files back and forth between the ABCC machine you connect to (e.g., nciiris.ncifcrf.gov) and the node of the cluster on which you job is running (which you can tell by typing ``qstat -ans'').
A typical ``runme.csh'' script looks like :
#PBS -S /bin/csh
#PBS -N g2-2b
#PBS -l pcput=20:00:00,cput=20:00:20,pvmem=400mb,ncpus=1

rcp nciiris:your_input_files /usr/tmp/$user/.

setenv g98root /usr/local/fbscapp/g98_A11.3
source $g98root/g98/bsd/g98.login
setenv GAUSS_SCRDIR /usr/tmp/$user

cd /usr/tmp/$user/
g98 < inputfile > logfile

rcp /usr/tmp/$user/you_output_files nciiris:/usr/tmp/$user
If you want other (and probably better) ways to transfer the files to and from the node of the cluster, look at /etc/pbs-intro, as suggested by the login message at ABCC.
