===== Setting Environmental Variables =====

If you would like to change your shell to bash, make a file called .profile which you will put all of your environmental settings into, and add this to the beginning:
  
  if [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/sh" ]
  then
        SHELL=/bin/bash
        export SHELL
  fi


If you would like to add our classes bin directory (or any other directory for that matter) then add this to your .profile:

  PATH=/campusdata/BME235/bin:$PATH
  export PATH

To use the gcc-4.5 family of compilers stored in our bin directory then you can specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable:
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/campusdata/BME235/lib:/campusdata/BME235/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

To make your default folder creation settings group readable and writable then add this line to your .profile:
  umask 007



===== Sungrid Job scheduler =====

Campusrocks uses sungrid for scheduling jobs.  The techstaff request that jobs only be run
on the compute nodes, not the head node, as jobs run there slow down the entire cluster.
They threaten to kill jobs found running on the head node.

There is [[http://www.rocksclusters.org/rocks-documentation/4.1/|online documentation]] of how to use sungrid to submit jobs on the cluster.  The main commands are
  * qsub: Submits a job (create a shell script, then run "qsub -cwd shellscript")
  * qdel: Delete a job
  * qlogin: Interactive login 
  * qstat: See the status of jobs in the queue
  * qmon: Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The web site is locked so that it can only be accessed oncampus.

[[http://web.njit.edu/topics/HPC/basement/sge/SGE.html|SunGrid Quick Start]]

Useful submit-script settings for SGE:

#$ -N some_name_here\\
Apparently, you must have a single word after -N\\
This gives a nicer name to your script when you run qstat.\\

#$ -V\\
Your jobs use **your** environment variables. 

#$ -l mem_free=15g\\
Your job goes to a node with at least 15g of free memory. There is probably something like '-l mem_avail' that works if you would like to schedule your job on a node with a certain amount of max memory available, even if some of it is currently in use.

#$ -pe mpi 4\\
Your job goes to a set of nodes with a combined total of a least 4 cores available.

#$ -cwd\\
Your job will be launched at the directory where the qsub command was given. Useful for setting predictable bash commands. Though not recommended for portability as other users of the script would need to also know where to launch the qsub command.

#$ -q [Name of specific server queue]\\
Used to specify which set of servers you would like the sungrid scheduler to schedule/run your jobs in. Names on campus rocks include 'all.q' and 'small.q'
