Batch Job Submission

The UTD HEP computing system provides a NQS based batch system for major computational processings. A global queue has been established to send jobs automatically to three fast-processors (fauna,fester,and flora) in the system, regardless from which of these machines you submit your job. At the end of a batch job, a notification will be sent to you in the mail.

Interactive analysis/Monte Carlo simulation jobs are prohibited.


(1) For regular jobs, use the MEDIUM queue --

drunk/sober job: drunk/sober job can be submitted by typing
         
                 qmed drunk -dsflag your-drunk-job-name

                 where dsflag can be any drunk or sober flags. Type drunk/sober for a list.

non-BES jobs:    Prepare a Unix scripts containing your commands, then type

                 qsub -q cpqm your-script-file


(2) For debugging/testing jobs, use the SHORT queue --

                 qshort drunk -dsflag your-drunk-job-name
              or
                 qsub -q cpqs your-script-file      


(3) Qeueu Status --    

                 You can check your job and queue status by typing

                 qcheck
