Submitting a Simple HPRC Job

The following is a submission script for a Matlab job that will run for 5 minutes on one processor. Note that an allocation is required to submit jobs to HPRC. Users familiar with submitting jobs to ACI-b will note only minor differences in this script.

#!/bin/bash

#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1

#PBS -l walltime=5:00

#PBS -q hprc

#PBS -A ics-hprc

# Get started

echo “Job started on ‘hostname‘ at ‘date‘”

# Load in matlab

module purge

module load matlab

# Go to the correct place

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

# Run the job itself – a matlab script called runThis.m

matlab-bin -nodisplay -nosplash < runThis.m > log.matlabRun

# Finish up

echo “Job Ended at ‘date‘”
