REPEATING STELLAR JETS

USING FLYER:


Internet address: flyer.ncsc.org, 128.109.136.132

Please be aware of your responsibilities when using Flyer.

Disk usage in your home directory on Flyer is very limited, so most of your computing should take place on the scratch disk. To do this, make a directory under /tmp - mkdir /tmp/py228_n. Files left on this scratch disk for more than 24 hours will be deleted, so save your data promptly!

To compile VH-1 on the Flyer you will need to use the following definitions in the Makefile:

F77 = cft77
LDR = segldr
LIBS= /usr/local/lib/libdf.a

Programs can be run interactively (ie, from the shell) for a maximum of ten minutes. To run longer jobs requires submitting a request with the qsub command. For example, typing qsub qvhone, where the file qvhone contains the following:

#QSUB  -lT 2:00:00
#QSUB  -lM 2Mw
#
cd /tmp/py228_n/jets
ja
date
vhone 
date
echo job complete
ja -cst
would submit the program vhone in the scratch directory /tmp/py228_n/jets to run for a maximum of 2 hours and a maximum memory usage of 2 Megawords. To see the status of the queues (ie, where is your job in the queue), use the command qstat -a. Note that the queues have cut offs of 5 and 15 Mw. An effort should be made to keep the full jet run under the 15 Mw limit to ensure that it is executed before the end of the semester (Under 5Mw would be even better).
