[username@c059 ~]$ module load savu/2.0/gcc-5.2.0/openmpi-2.0.2
[username@c059~]$ savu_config

or

[username@c059~]$  savu /Path/To_input/Data/file.nxs /List/Of_processes/To_be_performed/process.nxs /path /to/output/directory

Example: this will run basic_tomo_process.nxs on file 24737.nxs and place the output in your current directory under results

[username@c059~]$  savu /trinity/clustervision/CentOS/7/apps/savu/2.0/gcc-5.2.0/openmpi-2.0.2/Savu_2.0/miniconda/pkgs/savu-2.0-h4571989_0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/savu-2.0-py2.7.egg/test_data/data/24737.nxs /trinity/clustervision/CentOS/7/apps/savu/2.0/gcc-5.2.0/openmpi-2.0.2/Savu_2.0/miniconda/pkgs/savu-2.0-h4571989_0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/savu-2.0-py2.7.egg/test_data/test_process_lists/basic_tomo_process.nxs ./results

Batch Submission

once you are happy with the results you got. you can start submitting a bigger jobs to the cluster. Below is an example of running savu_mpi to process data on multiple nodes.

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -J My_R_job        # Job name, you can change it to whatever you want
#SBATCH -N 1               # Number of nodes 
#SBATCH -o %N.%j.out       # Standard output will be written here
#SBATCH -e %N.%j.err       # Standard error will be written here
#SBATCH -p compute         # Slurm partition, where you want the job to be queued 
#SBATCH --exclusive        # run on one node without any other users
#SBATCH --mem=64G          # reserve 64Gbytes of RAM for my job (optional)
