CALid
Using the Grid to run CALICE jobs.
Simplified Grid Submission
Birmingham provides a modifed version of the
gqsub tools. These tools allow users to submit jobs to the grid through the familair torque
qsub
interface. More information about these tools can be found
here.
We support CALICE on both of the Birmingham clusters (the local cluster and on the BlueBEAR Grid nodes). If no site is specified in the batch script, the gqsub tools will automatically send the job to BlueBEAR.
This is the recommended behaviour, as we would prefer to run CALICE jobs on BlueBEAR!
Accessing Software
The standard ILC and CALICE software have been installed on both of the Birmingham Grid clusters. These were obtained from
lfn:/grid/calice/software
(more information
here) and have been installed in
$VO_ILC_SW_DIR
and
$VO_CALICE_SW_DIR
respectively.
If a root environment is required, it is possible to set one up by executing the following on a worker node:
source $VO_ILC_SW_DIR/initILCSOFT.sh v01-08-01
This particular release of the ILC software will setup root 5.26/00b.
Accessing Data
Birmingham supports CALICE on the local storage element.
