Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a question which doesn't seem to be addressed in the<br>
documentation, or on this list. It seems that from the<br>
examples, Starcluster expects a bunch of human interaction,<br>
manually creating a cluster, submitting jobs, then terminating<br>
the cluster. I need an essentially batch system: the user starts<br>
a job which creates a cluster (internal info determines how large<br>
a cluster is needed); it runs unattended for hours/days (periodically<br>
checkpointing itself); then when it finishes it copies results to<br>
an EBS volume, sends an email message to the user, and terminates<br>
the cluster.<br>
<br>
1) Will Starcluster allow me to do this easily? If so, a pointer<br>
to docs/examples would be appreciated!<br>
<br>
2) If not, is there some other application that will do this, so I<br>
don't have to re-invent the wheel?<br>
<br>
3) Or do I have to build my own wheel from scratch?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
James<br>
