Wine

Setting Up Wine on HPC Systems

If you need to use wine on the HPC systems, you will need to setup an environment for it. In order to do this, you will need to login to the system and run the following command:

[user@submit ~]$ winesetup 

Once this command has been run, you should not have any trouble running wine on the system. Please note that wine typically wants to run in a windowed mode, which is why we have some workarounds in the job scripts section.

Job Scripts

The following is a sample job that creates a dummy video output for display stuff to go to if it needs to. Some windows programs require this, even though nothing may actually get output.

#! /bin/sh
#PBS -N testjob
#PBS -o testjob.out
#PBS -e testjob.err
#PBS -M <EMAIL ADDRESS>
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS -l walltime=0:10:00

ncpus=`grep vendor_id /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
display=1
while [ $display -le $ncpus ] ; do
    if [ ! -e /tmp/.X${display}-lock ] ; then
	break
    fi
    display=`expr $display + 1`
done
echo "Unique display found: $display"
