CosmoMC: help with qsub commands and mpirun

Post by Lisa Hall » October 13 2005

Has anyone submitted an NxM run using qsub?

I am trying to run CosmoMC on a supercomputer in Sheffield. Sadly, bsub is not available, so I am using qsub. However, I cannot get chains to run on multiple processors.

As an example, I am using N=4, M=2. I have changed "num_threads = 4" in params_wipp.ini, according to the CosmoMC Readme doc.

q1) Should num_threads be left as zero, to set it automatically?

The submission cmd we are using is:

Code: Select all

qsub -cwd -pe mpich-gm 4 -q parallel.q sge_mpirun -np 2 ./cosmomc params_wipp.ini > output.txt
q2) Should I have a qsub option similar to the "-n" for bsub?

Code: Select all

bsub -n {NxM}


Using the naive qsub command above I get an error:

Code: Select all

OMP_NUM_THREADS or NCPUS (2) greater than available cpus (1)
omp_set_num_threads (4) greater than available cpus (1)
q3) Has anyone used qsub before or know of a possible solution?

Thanx.
Lisa
