NAME

fire - Remote dart job submission to seymour

SYNOPSIS

fire [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

fire allows users to send remote dart job submissions to a CRAY using a Y-MP architecture. The defaults for fire are set to allow easy submission to seymour.bmen.tulane.edu. fire uses doff to strip off the comments from the Fortran source code in the specified source directory, runs the C preprocessor (cpp), and then performs a submission to an NQS queue on the remote machine. Not only does fire, provide the user with a remote job submission to the NQS supported machine, fire also makes a log of the job submission in the specified directory (see
OPTIONS below).

OPTIONS

-b output file
This option requests the cpp output to be placed in a output file, while the remote job is not submitted.

-c include directory
The include directory designates an alternate include directory, specifically used for simsize.h and dart.h. $HOME/include is the default.

-d dart mainprog directory
The mainprog directory is the directory where the main dart program is located. The argument should be referenced from the $DART/src directory. mainprog/dart is the default.

-f remote script
A remote script is a user defined script file which operates in nqs format. The default script is $DART/bin/cmore.script. Use the default script file as a template for alternate scripts.

-i 'input files'
The default is $HOME/inp/*.inp. The argument to the -i option must be surrounded by single quotes ``'''.

-l log tar directory
This argument should be a directory on the parent machine (aepbme) which will store the tarred and compressed log files. $HOME/logs is the default.

-m makefile
Allows the remote submission to reference an alternate makefile. The default is $DART/src/Makefile.

-n
This option requests no log file.

-o remote job log file
The remote job log file is the log file which is created during a batch job execution. This file will always appear in the directory rem_machine:$HOME/adm. dart.MMDD_hhmm.log is the default filename.

-q remote queue
Specifies the queue for batch job execution on seymour.bmen.tulane.edu. beat is the default queue.

-s "dart sources"
Allows the user to pick custom source directories from $DART/src. fire automatically picks up manag, mesh, post, solv, and util. Additional directories may be added. Default directories are in dart.h.

-t log tar file
The log tar file is the name for the file which will be stored in the log tar directory, specified with the -l option. dart.MMDD_hhmm.tar is the default. This file is compressed before storage.

-B
This option is used as a workaround for a system that allows rcp and rsh only from the local host. In our case, you can rcp/rsh using aepbme as the local host and rs6000 as the remote host. The file ~pollard/commands/rs.fire shows example use of fire in the backward_execution mode.

-C "cpp options"
Additional cpp options should be added in quotes.

-L remote UID
This option specifies the account name on the remote machine under which the job submission will be performed. The default is the same UID under which the command has been executed.

-M queue memory request
Specifies the memory requested on seymour.bmen.tulane.edu. The default is 8mw.

-N remote job script directory
This directory is where fire will put the remote copy of the user's job submission script. The default is rem_machine:./nqs.

-Q remote qsub command
Defaults to /usr/bin/qsub.

-R remote machine
Specifies the machine on which the queue submission will be performed. Default is seymour.bmen.tulane.edu.

-T queue time request
Specifies the time requested on seymour.bmen.tulane.edu. The default is 4:0:0.

-X -D'DISPLAY:DISPLAYNUMBER'
This causes fire to spawn an xterm session to the indicated display:number.

WARNING

The directories rem_machine:$HOME/adm and rem_machine:$HOME/nqs must exist for proper execution.

The directories aepbme:$HOME/include and aepbme:$HOME/logs must exist for default execution.

$HOME/.rhosts files must exist on aepbme and seymour.

FILES

/usr/local/dart/bin/fire /usr/local/dart/bin/cmore.script /usr/local/dart/bin/doff /usr/local/bin/rqsub
