[edit] III. Applications

Applications under the Grid Portal Job Services tab makes it easy for users to submit applications to run on the clusters. Moreover, pool jobs run applications only. Applications have to be set up in advance to make this possible. To add an application for a cluster:

1. Login to the Grid Portal as Grid Admin and click on Application under the
   Grid Admin tab.

2. Click on the Add button.

3. Fill in the form that appears as follows:

   App Name
       This is a unique name for this application on this cluster. By
       convention we use DisplayName-ClusterName.

   Display Name
       This is the common name for this application and must be the same for
       all instances of this application across clusters. For example, if
       three clusters are all running Mathematica and the Display Name for it
       is Mathematica on the first cluster then the Display Name for it must
       be Mathematica on the other clusters as well.

   Cluster Name
       Fill this in with the alpha address of the Grid Appliance for this
       cluster.

   Description
       Enter a brief description of what this applicaiton does.

   Exectuable
       Enter the full path to the executable for this application on this
       cluster.

   Directory
       Leave this blank.

   Job Type
       Select the appropriate type for this application: Serial, MPI Parallel,
       or Linda.

   Environment
       Enter the environment variables that need to be set by default when
       this application runs, in the form:

           ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1 value1
           ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2 value2
           ...
           ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLEn valuen

       Leave this blank.

       Leave this blank.

   Project
       Leave this blank.

   Scheduler Name
       Code SGE if this cluster uses SGE and PBS if this cluster uses Torque.
