Sun HPC Campus Ambassador @ CESUP/UFRGS Glaucio Souza

Friday Mar 14, 2008

From Monday 10th to Thursday 13th, CESUP (National Center of SuperComputing) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where I work as Campus Ambassador, hosted a course of OpenMP. Our fellow ambassadors Maria Cecilia and Joseanderson, traveled long seven hours from Maceió to Porto Alegre and presented us a magnificent course.

This course was not a normal talk for it was a recorded one, designed to be a online course avaliable at the web-learning plataform hosted by CESUP.

After four days of hard work, they finished the recordings and the fine adjustments. We even had time for a little happy hour at Lima e Silva, a famous local street for its bars.

And of course we had to take some pictures:

If you updated your SGE installation from a version prior to 6.1, you may have noticed that when you use the qstat command, only your jobs are shown. This is the new behavior of the qstat command.

In case you want to view all jobs, just add "-u *" (without the quotes) to the $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/sge_qstat file, which will change qstat behavior for all your cluster or to do the modification for a specific user, create a $HOME/.sge_qstat file for that user, adding the same content.

That will produce the same result as execute the qstat -u "*" command.

You can learn more at sun.docs.com and at DanT's GridBlog, from where I've found that information.
