[Condor-users] Running compiled Matlab executables

["Shaun J. O'Callaghan" <Shaun.OCallaghan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

 

We have a strange problem here when attempting to run compiled Matlab executables on our Condor grid.  The executables are actually running and then terminating normally but the job itself (and associated output isn’t available).  I think this is something to do with paths and access to required DLLs but I can’t seem to pinpoint what the actual error is.

 

The submit file looks like the following:

 

---

executable = compiled_exe.exe

universe = vanilla

Requirements = ((Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "WINNT52"))

log = log.log

when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT

should_transfer_files = YES

output = output.log

error = error.log

transfer_input_files = image_input.JPG, compiled_exe.ctf, compiled_exe.exe

 

getenv = true

 

arguements = image_input.JPG 10 10 10 10 10

 

queue

---

 

The log output looks something like the following:

 

005 (078.000.000) 10/06 12:14:53 Job terminated.

            (1) Normal termination (return value 128)

                        Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Run Remote Usage

                        Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Run Local Usage

                        Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Total Remote Usage

                        Usr 0 00:00:00, Sys 0 00:00:00  -  Total Local Usage

            0  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job

            1495617  -  Run Bytes Received By Job

            0  -  Total Bytes Sent By Job

            1495617  -  Total Bytes Received By Job

...

 

Please can somebody advise further on common problems that I might be running into when trying to run Matlab compiled executables?

 

Kind Regards,
