1. Create the file ".mpich" in your home directory with the following lines: setenv MPICH2_HOME /usr/common/mpich2-1.0.7 setenv PATH $MPICH2_HOME/bin:$PATH setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/common/mpich2-1.0.7/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 2. Issue the commands: argo > mkdir hw1 argo > cd hw1 argo > cp /usr/common/mpich/share/examples_logging/cpi.c . argo > mpicc -o cpi cpi.c 3. Create the file "my_script" in the hw1 directory with the following lines: #!/bin/tcsh #PBS -V #PBS -l nodes=5:ppn=2 source $HOME/.mpich cd ~/hw1 mpiexec cpi 4. Issue the command: argo > qsub my_script When I issued this command this morning I got the output: 3962.argo.cc.uic.edu which means that my job number is 3962 and the output of "stdout" and "stderr" went to the files: my_script.e3962 my_script.o3962 When your run has finished, these files will appear and you can check your results.
