How to configure Sun Grid Engine for FSL under Ubuntu
This short howto describes how to set up a local SGE so all of the cores of your workstation could be used.
- sudo apt-get install gridengine-master gridengine-exec gridengine-client gridengine-qmon
- sudo qmon
- Queue Control->Add
- set New Host/Hostgroup to your host name and press the arrow
- Set the Processors and Slots to an appropriate number (number of cores - 1 is the recommended value if you plan to use your workstation during the processing)
- Back to main menu and to Host Configuration
- Submit Host->Add your host name
To run a job using your local SGE the FSLPARELL=1 has to be set. For example:
FSLPARALLEL=1 bedpostx bedpostx -b 1000 -n 1 -j 1250 -s 25 -w 1.00
You can monitor your local grid using qmon (Job Control).
