Parallel Computing Support User Guide
Summary
This page discusses support for generic parallel computing jobs on the EGI infrastructure. We consider using the MPI-START framework as a means for launching multiple jobs on a cluster. The are several clearly apparent application areas:
* Hadoop-On-Demand/myHadoop * Charm++ * Parallel R
This is a work in progress.
JDL requirements
As we are using the MPI-START framework, the format of the JDL is the same as for an MPI job.
JobType = "Normal";
CPUNumber = 4;
Executable = "starter.sh";
Arguments = "OPENMPI hello_bin hello";
InputSandbox = {"starter.sh", "hello_bin"};
OutputSandbox = {"std.out", "std.err"};
StdOutput = "std.out";
StdError = "std.err";
Requirements = member("MPI-START", other.GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment) && member("OPENMPI", other.GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment);
