Basic PBS question

4 messages · Brian Smith, George Ostrouchov

Hi,

I am trying to get started on our Moab cluster. My pbs script looks like:

======= test.pbs ============
#!/bin/sh

#PBS -N job_name
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=3
#PBS -q debugq

module load R
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

mpirun -rmk pbs R --slave CMD BATCH ./test.r

======== test.r ============

print('hello world')


To submit my job, I use:

msub test.pbs

When I execute this, the .Rout file contains 'hello world' and everything
looks ok. However, how can I get each processor to write out something like:

'hello world from 1'
'hello world from 2'
'hello world from 3'

How can I get the processor number as an input to the r script?

many thanks!

Since you are running in batch on a cluster, I would recommend looking 
at package pbdDEMO and reading its vignette.

George,

Unfortunately, I run into dependency issues while trying to install the
package:

Is there a way to resolve these?

The install did not find libmpi in the usual places.
At the shell prompt, check
echo $OMPI_DIR
and if it gives you a directory, try installing pbdMPI by itself first with
R CMD INSTALL pbdMPI --configure-args="--with-mpi-type=OPENMPI 
--with-mpi=the_directory_you_got"
