Managing serial programs on Stampede Rocco Moretti https://conferences.xsede.org/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=734379 2014-06-25T16:54:39Z 2014-06-25T16:52:00Z

What&#039;s the recommended way of running serial programs on Stampede? That is, if you have a program that&#039;s intrinsically single-threaded/single-processed, what&#039;s the best way of submitting Stampede jobs using it?<br /><br />I know that there is a &#034;serial&#034; queue for jobs requesting just a single processor, but how would you go about managing a large number of the single-process runs? (E.g. if you&#039;re running the intrinsically-serial program with a large number of different inputs, or under a range of different parameters.) Is there an approved method for managing distribution of multiple serial runs across multiple nodes of a single job, or even just the 16 processors of a single node from the main queues? Are ad-hoc bash scripts the way to go, or is there a better way to go about doing it?<br /><br />Thanks.
