Here is an example of configure.ac file for the Green cluster:

green.ac

enable_mpi_io="yes"
with_mpi_prefix="/home/pcpm/buildbot/openmpi_intel"
with_fft_flavor="fftw3"
with_fft_libs="-L/usr/local/intel/Compiler/11.1/current/mkl/lib/em64t -Wl,--start-group -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -Wl,--end-group -lpthread"

Green use a SGE submission script system.

Here is an example submission script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# On old Green node
#$ -l nb=false
#
# ask for pe=parrallel environment, snode or openmpi
# snode= same node, as the shared memory communication is the fastest
#$ -pe openmpi 16
# -pe snode8 8

# keep current working directory
#$ -cwd

# give a name to your job
#$ -N name_of_job

# keep all the defined variables
#$ -V
#$ -l nb=false

# not mandatory: highmem=true (hm=true) for 32GB node
# or hm=false for 16GB node
# no hm argument does not take about the kind of node ram (16/32)
# -l hm=true

# important: specifie the mem_free needed
# h_vmem can also be set but mf is mandatory
# max 31G on hm=true and 15G on hm=false nodes
#$ -l mf=4G

# specify the requested time
# 240:00:00 is 10 days
#$ -l h_rt=40:59:59

# to be informed by email (bes= begin,end,stop)
#$ -M your_e_mail@blabla.com
#$ -m besa
