All jobs submitted to xray.bc.edu, regardless of program, must be submitted using Platform LSF (LSF for short). Currently, custom submission scripts have been written for Gaussian03, CNS and GAMESS.
General job submission:
bsub –q <queue_name> -J <job_name> -o <output_file_log> -R<resource_list> submission_scipt [submission_parameters]
| Definitions: |
|

bsub |
LSF command to submit a job |
|
-q |
LSF switch to indicate the queue that will be used |
|
<queue_name> |

|
-J |
LSF switch to indicate the name of the job
|
|
<job_name> |

|
-R |
LSF switch to request a specific resource
|
|
<resource_list> |
Requested resources, see examples below
“linux” request linux node
“macg5” request macg5 node
“gaussian” request a node that can run Gaussian
“rusage[goldlicense=1]” request the system reserve one gold license
for submitted job |
|
submission_script |
The script or program that will be run
|
|
[submission_parameters] |
Optional list of parameters required by program or script |
Note: May other options are available. See the Platform LSF “Running Jobs with Platform LSF” manual
Currently available submission scripts:
gaussian_lsf submit <gaussian_input_file.com>
cns_lsf_submit <cns_input_file.inp>
gamess_lsf_submit <games_input_file.inp>
Examples:
| Gaussian job: |

bsub –q long –J first_g03_job –o g03_log.txt –R “gaussian” /progs/scripts/gaussian_lsf_submit test01.com |
| CNS job: |
|
|
bsub –q normal –J first_cns_job –o cns_log.txt cns_lsf submit generate.inp |
| Gamess job: |
