One use of the Supercomputer is to run a lot of instances of non-parallel code. Here is a sample script for a single-core job:
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -N single-core-program
#PBS -l procs=1
#PBS -l walltime=00:10:00
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
module load mvapich2/intel/1.8
./my_program
It is very similar to the other example but it specifies “#PBS -l procs=1″ and it does not use the mpirun command to start the program since it is not an MPI program.
