Snic Scripts Generator

This program allows the generation of the script files to run the experiments with SNIC (Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing).

Getting Started

To generate the executable JAR file, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/dginelli/snic-scripts-generator.git
cd snic-scripts-generator
mvn clean package

Command Line Usage

To generate the script files, you have to specify some specific values using the following options:

Usage: SNIC Scripts Generator [options]
  Options:
  * --account, -a
      It specifies the SNAC project ID formated as SNICYYYY-XX-ZZ.
  * --commandsFile, -c
      The file with the commands that have to be executed.
    --days, -d
      The days that should be reserved for the job.
    --help

    --hours, -h
      The hours that should be reserved for the job.
    --minutes, -m
      The minutes that should be reserved for the job.
  * --outputDirectory, -o
      The directory where to save the script files.
    --seconds, -s
      The seconds that should be reserved for the job.

The parameters marked with the symbol * are mandatory. Moreover, to set the time that should be reserved for the jobs, it is necessary to specify at least one of these parameters: --days, --hours, --minutes, and --seconds.

The value associated with the parameter commandsFile is the path of the file that contains the commands that have to be executed.

Every line of the file has to be associated with a single command.

Example of Use

To generate the script files associated with the commands that are contained in a txt file, you have to run the following command:

java -jar snic-scripts-generator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --outputDirectory <outputDirectoryPath> --commandsFile <commandsFile> --account <accountName> -h 1

In this case, since only the parameter -h has been specified with the value 1, one hour will be reserved for every job.

The program will generate the folder jobs that contains all the script files that have to be executed, and the file main.sh that can be used to submit the jobs associated with the script files in SNIC.

Upload these files on you pfs home folder, and run the command: source main.sh in order to submit your jobs.
