Running Program

Also refer to Running Jobs on the teaching cluster

• Version 3.7.2 is installed in /apps/eb/Cytoscape/3.7.2

To use version 3.7.2, please first load the module with

module load Cytoscape/3.7.2

This program has a graphical interface. Please refer to Run interactive Jobs and Run X window Jobs.

To run this program in an interactive session using the graphical front end: Start an X terminal (Mac), X window (Windows) at the local computer first, then

xqlogin
module load Cytoscape/3.7.2
Cytoscape [options]
exit

To run as a batch job, you might have to create a script file with the cytoscape execution commands.

Example of a job submission script sub.sh to run a batch job (note: this is not the cytoscape execution command script):

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=jobname
#SBATCH --partition=batch
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --mem=4gb
#SBATCH --time=04:00:00
#SBATCH --output=%j.out
#SBATCH --error=%j.err

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

module load Cytoscape/3.7.2

cytoscape.sh [options]

where [options] need to be replaced by the options (command and arguments) you want to use. Other parameters of the job, such as the maximum wall clock time, maximum memory, and the job name need to be modified appropriately as well.

Example of submission to the queue:

sbatch ./sub.sh
