So the login node is the only one that has a window to the outside
world. I can't access the outside world from within an allocation.
So my script does:
- Login Node:
1) Get MPI Tarballs
- 1 Compute node:
0) Allocate a compute node to compile.
1) Build/Install MPI builds
2) Deallocate compute node
- Login Node:
1) Get MPI Test sources
- N Compute Nodes:
0) Allocate N compute Nodes to run the tests on
1) Build/Install Tests
2) Run the tests...
- Login Node:
0) Check to make sure we are all done (scheduler didn't kill the
job, etc.).
1) Report results to MTT *
* This is what I am missing currently.
I currently have the "Reporter: IU Database" section commented out so
that once the tests finish they don't try to post the database, since
they can't see the outside world.
