Desktop computing¶

If you want to compute jobs on nodes without SSH connections then this feature is for you.

On the nodes you have to run “oar-agent.pl”. This script polls the OAR server via a CGI HTTP script.

Usage examples:

• if you want to run a program that you know is installed on nodes:

  oarsub -t desktop_computing /path/to/program
  

  Then /path/to/program is run and the files created in the oar-agent.pl running directory is retrieved where oarsub was launched.

• if you want to copy a working environment and then launch the program:

  oarsub -t desktop_computing -s . ./script.sh
  

  The content of “.” is transfred to the node, “./script.sh” is run and everything will go back.
