Introduction

We are developing a cluster for local ATLAS computing using the TACC Alamo site of FutureGrid to boot virtual machines.

...

Code Block
bash
bash
ssh username@alamo.futuregrid.org

Then visit the list of https://openstack.futuregrid.tacc.utexas.edu/horizon/nova/instances/ to see which nodes are running. Then simply 

 

Code Block
bash
bash
ssh root@10.XXX.X.XX

and you are now accessing a node!

Getting started with Bosco

Bosco is a job submission manager designed to manage job submissions across different resources.  It is needed to submit jobs from local machines to openstack.

Make sure you have an account on our local machine atlas.its.utexas.edu.

Code Block
bash
bash
ssh atlas.its.utexas.edu
curl -o bosco_quickstart.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/condor/bosco/1.2/bosco_quickstart.tar.gz
tar xvzf ./bosco_quickstart.tar.gz
./bosco_quickstart

...

Then you will be able to submit jobs as if you were running condor!
And lastly, if you are looking for a more detailed guide on Bosco.
