The following examples assume you are using CitcomS. If you are using PyLith v0.8.2, replace 'CitcomS' with 'pylith3d'.

The configuration options below are suitable for inclusion in a CitcomS.cfg configuration file; for example:

~/.pyre/CitcomS/CitcomS.cfg

Be sure to set the command option under [CitcomS.launcher] to the proper command for launching MPI jobs on your cluster. This command will vary from cluster to cluster; the commands shown here are provided only as examples.

LSF

Here are example configuration options for LSF. These were tested on TACC's Lonestar system.

[CitcomS]
scheduler = lsf

[CitcomS.job]
queue = normal
#queue = development

[CitcomS.launcher]
command = ibrun

PBS

Here are example configuration options for PBS. These were tested on NCSA's Itanium cluster.

You will have to set ppn to a value suitable for your cluster.

[CitcomS]
scheduler = pbs

[CitcomS.launcher]
command = mpirun -np ${nodes} -machinefile ${PBS_NODEFILE}

[CitcomS.pbs]
ppn = 2  ; processors per node
