NAME

sendsg.pl - send spin glass meta jobs to the spin glass server system.

SYNOPSIS

sendsg [OPTIONS] -m email@address -n METANAME FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

This client allows to send spin glass instances to the spin glass server. Instances can be bundled into so called meta jobs. A meta job contains a number of single files. Within a meta job, each single instance has to be contained in a single file. Each file contains a spin glass instance in a specified format.

The client sendsg.pl needs at least 3 parameters. Firstly, you state the email address to which the results will be sent with -m return@tothisaddress.org . This parameter can be skipped if there exists a .sendsgrc file in your $HOME directory containing the following line followed by an empty line.

$email='your@address';

Note the single quotes enclosing the email address.

Next, the name of the meta job has to be specified with the -n NAME flag. Finally, the instance files which contained in the meta job are declared. For simplicity, you can just provide the directory containing the instance files followed by a slash and an asterisk, e.g. /home/yourname/foo/*

FORMAT INPUTDATA

The first line contains a optional user-defined job name of the corresponding instance, like name: name_of_a_testinstance. If skipped, instances are named as their filenames.

For the input format definition see the spin glass server page. An example of valid input is given here.

OPTIONS

-h

show summary of options

-t [long|short]

configure how much detail you want to see in the server output (default: long) short reports the ground state characteristics only

-i [instance_type]

configure the problem type (currently supported):

• ising
• pottsinf (to compute optimum solutions for Potts spin glass instances with q → ∞)

The option 'ising' automatically identifies your instances as one of the following deprecated type
--gauss
--pm
--gauss3
--pm3
--2d
--sk
default value: ising
This is a global option and overwrites local problem types defined in your instances!

-m [email]

email address the results will be sent to

-v

verbose mode

-n [meta job name]

set the name of the meta job. e.g. foobar

FILE ...

list of files with spin glass input data

EXAMPLE

            sendsg -v -m foo@bar.com -n gauss100 ~/gauss100/*
