You can either submit your CFX job from the command line, using the cfx_submit_job script, or you can directly submit your jobs to the batch system from the CFX graphical user interface (GUI).

Submitting jobs from the command line

CFX jobs can be submitted from the command line, using the script cfx_submit_job.

[leonhard@euler01 ~]$ ./cfx_submit_job

USAGE: cfx_submit_job [-h|--help] [-n NCPUS] [-W HH:MM] [-M MBytes] [-J job_name] ...

   -h | --help : show usage information and exit
   -n NCPUS    : number of processors for the job (default 1, maximum 96)
   -W HH:MM    : job run-time limit in hours and minutes (default 1 hour)
   -M MBytes   : memory required per processor (default 2 GB)
   -J job_name : name of the job (jobs with the same name will be chained)
   -ptile N    : use N processors per node
   -wrap X     : wrap up at given time point or percent (X = HH:MM or %)
   -lsf "opts" : pass additional bsub options to the batch system (LSF)
   ...         : all subsequent arguments are passed varbatim to cfx5solve

The number of processors (NCPUS) and run-time limit (HH:MM) are optional. The default values are 1 processor for one hour. The options -h or --help can also be used to print a brief description of the command's arguments. All other arguments are passed verbatim to cfx5solve. You can get a complete list of all supported options using the command

cfx5solve -h

The most important options are

-def {definition or results file}

-ini {initial values file}

Most other cfx5solve options — especially those relative to partitioning, parallel execution, hosts, etc. — should be avoided due to potential conflicts with the batch system on our clusters.
