Trying to run Madgraph on condor on CMS Connect

Asked by Brandon Soubasis

I am trying to run madgraph on condor using CMS connect. I wanted to first try to generate something simple to see how running on condor will workout so i do the following:

./bin/mg5_aMC
tutorial
generate p p > t t~
add process p p > W+ j, W+ > l+ vl @2
output MY_FIRST_MG5_RUN
I DO NOT launch and instead type the command exit and go back to the main MadGraph directory. I then cd into MY_FIRST_MG5_RUN.
cd into this directory and then cd into the Cards directory. open the me5_configuration.txt file in the Cards directory

Uncomment run_mode
run_mode=1
Uncomment cluster_type and cluster_queue
cluster_type = condor
cluster_queue = None

Doing this will make MadGraph submit the job to Condor,

./bin/generate_events

 I am getting the following error messages:

Hi,

Well this sounds a node issue rather than a MG5aMC issue.
Out of your 18 job, 17 seems to went trough (at least the first four did for sure)
So it sounds unlikely that a wrong call to the executable occurs.

Especially since the code is secure against missing executable due to slow filesystem (or similar issue).

But can you check
> /home/soubasis/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/MG5_TEST_RUN/SubProcesses/P2_gq_wpq_wp_lvl/G1b0/results.d

and also check the content of the log in the following directory:
> /home/soubasis/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/MG5_TEST_RUN/SubProcesses/P2_gq_wpq_wp_lvl/G1a0/

Cheers,

Olivier
