SGE script to start a simple (serial) job on the cluster

To submit a simple serial (ie non-parallel) job on the cluster via SGE do the following :

• Create a dedicated directory somewhere in /work
• Place all files needed by your job (and possibly also the executable) in this directory
• Create a file with a suitable name (like 'myjob.sh') containing the following:

#!/bin/csh -f # # # The name of the job (Test) ... # #$ -N Test # # Execute from the current working directory ... # #$ -cwd # # Standard error and output should go into the current working directory ... # #$ -e ./ #$ -o ./ my_program_name <arguments>

• Edit this file and change my_program_name with the name of your executable. Add (if needed) the arguments to your program.
• Submit your job with qsub myjob.sh
