HPC2020: example Slurm serial batch job scripts for ECS

Job scripts

Here you find some simple serial batch job examples which are designed to be submitted to and run in the ef queue of the ECS virtual complex, but can be easily adapted to run on any other complex on the other complexes just changing the QoS to nf. Use them as templates to learn from, or as starting points to construct your own jobs.

Do not forget to modify the scripts with your own workdir, UID and GID as necessary!

HPC2020: ecfs1.sh

This example shell script demonstrates the use of various ECFS commands to

list the contents of and ECFS directory and
copy files to and from ECFS.

HPC2020: ecfs2.sh

This example shell scripts shows how to

use the ecfsdir command to save and retrieve a complete Unix directory as one ECFS file and
print the ecfs_audit file using ecat:

HPC2020: first_job.sh

This example shell script

shows the current directory and its contents
shows the path where the shell looks for commands and

HPC2020: magicsjob.sh

This example shell script retrieves a GRIB input file from ECFS and then:

compiles and links a Fortran program with the Magics++ library and

HPC2020: mars_ectrans.sh

This example shell script:

executes an advanced MARS request (to calculate total precipitation)
sends the data to a remote site using ectrans

HPC2020: realtime_metgram.sh

This example shell script is designed to run as a time-critical job under ECaccess control using the base date and time of the latest forecast from ECaccess. The script:

creates 10-day ENS meteogram by running a Metview macro (users can also choose to create 10-day Wave ENSgrams or 15-day ENSgrams)
sends plot to a remote site using ectrans

HPC2020: retrieve_decode_bufr.sh

This example shell script demonstrates how to use a Fortran program calling the BUFRDC library to decode a BUFR message. The script:

retrieves observations in BUFR format from MARS
compiles and links a Fortran decoding program with gfortran

HPC2020: retrieve_decode_eccodes_grib.sh

This shell script uses a Fortran program calling ecCodes routines to decode GRIB data.

fields are retrieved from MARS in GRIB format
the GRIB decoding Fortran program is compiled and linked against the ecCodes library using gfortran

HPC2020: retrieve_decode_grib_api.sh
