Mathematica is installed
on SciClone for evaluation purposes courtesy of Wolfram
Research, Inc. It is currently available only on mistral.sciclone.wm.edu,
with a temporary two-user license which is valid through February 26,
2007. If you find Mathematica to be useful for your work and would like
to extend the license and/or increase the number of concurrent licenses,
please contact sciclone@compsci.wm.edu.
To use Mathematica on
SciClone, you must login to mistral.sciclone.wm.edu from an authorized
host, i.e., one of the systems that you listed on your SciClone account
request. If you need to modify this list, contact sciclone@compsci.wm.edu.
To run Mathematica in
text mode, simply type "math" at a shell prompt.
To run Mathematica with
the interactive GUI (notebook interface), first ensure that the following
conditions have been met and then invoke "mathematica" at
a shell prompt:
Additional information
about establishing X11 connections to remote workstations can be found
in the SciClone
User's Guide.
Note: The interactive
Help Browser can be sluggish via a remote X11 connection. You may find
that the web-based
documentation provides a more satisfactory browsing experience.
To run Mathematica non-interactively
as a PBS batch job, use the math kernel mode (text-based interface)
and read your command script from standard input, e.g.:
qsub -l nodes=1:mistral
#!/bin/csh
cd mydir
math <script.m >results.out
^D
The "-noprompt"
option may also be useful in batch runs to reduce the verbosity of the
output, e.g.,
qsub -l nodes=1:mistral
#!/bin/csh
cd mydir
math -noprompt <script.m >results.out
^D
