Use of SCONE -- by Li Chen
I use Cygwin/X:
startx
ssh -l username -X scone.maths.bris.ac.uk
ssh harpo (or any other machine)
Then run program as usual
ssh scone.maths.bris.ac.uk
or
ssh -l username scone.maths.bris.ac.uk
scp filename scone.maths.bris.ac.uk:~/.
To run R code via condor:
For example, the R code is in the file runonscone.r. You need to write a cmd file which runs the R commands in the file runonscone.r.
A cmd file can be something as the following:
executable = /usr/local/R-2.7.0/bin/R ## you need to check which version is available
Universe = vanilla
error = condor.err
output = condor.out
log = condor.log
input = runonscone.r
Arguments = --save -q ## you may change accordingly
queue
Save this cmd file as test.cmd (name whatever you like). Transfer both test.cmd and runonscone.r to SCONE.
Run the condor_submit command: condor_submit test.cmd
You can submit many jobs with one cmd file if you wish.
You will receive an email once the job is done.
For a detailed description, please see Submitting a Job.
uptime: check the running time and average load for a machine/node/...
condor_q: show the state of the condor queue
condor_rm ID#: remove a job with ID#
