IMPORTANT

Use of the software is limited at each site to those research groups who own a license for that site. Other ACENET users cannot use it. Members of licensed groups should write Support in order to gain access.

Usage

Do not run IDL jobs on the head node. You can run it interactively or as a batch job on the compute nodes in general productions queues or in the test queue.

$ module load idl        # at Glooscap
$ module load idl/6.4    # at Placentia
$ idl
$ idlde

Example job script:

#$ -cwd
#$ -j y
#$ -l h_rt=0:5:0,test=true
module load idl
