[petsc-dev] running test harness under batch system

[Zhang, Hong]

Yes, it is possible. I have run the test harness on cori submitting the following script

#!/bin/bash -l

#SBATCH -N 1                      #Use 1 nodes
#SBATCH -t 02:00:00           #Set time limit
#SBATCH -p regular              #Submit to the regular 'partition'
#SBATCH -C knl,quad,cache  #Use KNL nodes

make PETSC_ARCH=arch-cori-avx512-opt MPIEXEC='srun -c 4 --cpu_bind=cores' -f gmakefile test

The most important thing is probably setting the MPIEXEC according to the system. But note that there are often limitations on number of nodes on large machines. For example, Theta requires a minimum of 128 nodes.
