sva_chromium_dmx.sh
sva_chromium_dmx.sh -- Allocates, launches, runs, and terminates a Chromium job.
Synopsis
sva_chromium_dmx.sh { -d display-surface } [ -p partition-name ] [ -I ] [ -g ] [ -i ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [
-D ] [ -h ] { application_command }
Parameters
-d display-surface or
--display-surface name
Selects a Display Surface to use for the job.
A Display Surface is a named display that consists of one or more
display devices with a particular orientation. Initial configuration of
the SVA creates a named single-tile Display Surface for each display
node and its associated display device. A typical default Display
Surface is SVA_DS_1_1.
The site administrator can create additional Display Surfaces using
the Display Surface Configuration Tool. You can also use this tool to
list all the named Display Surfaces on a cluster. This tool is documented
in the SVA System Administration Guide .
Can be specified in the User Configuration File.
-p partition-name or
--partition partition-name
Requests resources from the SLURM partition partition-name. The
default partition is used if no partition is named.
-I or --interactive Runs the application in interactive mode. Interactive mode allocates
nodes and starts X Servers. It launches your desktop environment (for
example, KDE or Gnome) on the machine you are logged into. You
can then start, stop, and restart applications as usual.
To terminate your session, log out from your desktop environment.
You must use the script command a second time to launch standard
OpenGL applications. The second invocation requires only the
application pathname be entered as a parameter to the script
command.
Before running the script in interactive mode, set the DISPLAY
environment variable to point to the machine on which you want the
display to appear, or the script fails.
-g or --tile_geometry Sets the tile geometry that each of the tiles uses. Valid values include
1280x1024, 1400x1050, and 1600x1200.
-i or --input Sets the particular display within the specified Display Surface that
DMX will use for input. If this is used, the DMX console is not used.
-v or --verbose Provides additional debugging feedback to the screen as the script
runs.
-V or --version Displays the version of this script.
-D or --debug Turns on script debugging.
-h or --help Displays Help for the script.
application_command Site-specific application command.
Returns
None.
Description
This command launches a fully functional Bash shell script to run a standard OpenGL application. It is
designed to take an application that already works on a workstation and run it on the SVA using a single
or multi-tile display. The command is on your PATH.
