No, there is little documentation as it is a fairly new feature. At least SGE support, platform LSF support has been around a little longer. I'm not sure what you mean by "local execution", do you mean that it is not installed on the execution hosts? PsN requires that a NONMEM installation is available on the executing hosts. > > Additional does PsN rely on nmfe for job execution?

No, PsN implements its own Perl module for executing NONMEM. The module is loosely based on the nmfe6 script. This module can be used as a script and is as such submitted to the grid system. Deploying PsN in an SGE environment the requires three things: * Making PsN available on the submitting hosts and execution hosts. * Making NONMEM and a Fortran compiler available on the execution hosts. * Adding the path to NONMEM in the PsN configuration file. And selecting the compiler used. Queue and resource selection can be entered as well. Hope this helps, please feel free to ask more questions if necessary. Regards, Pontus. |
