Running batch FPGA compile jobs not working (qsub -l nodes=1:fpga_compile:ppn=2 -d . build.sh)

[JVand22]

Hello,

I am trying to run FPGA compile jobs as batch jobs using the following command:

qsub -l nodes=1:fpga_compile:ppn=2 -d . build.sh

 where build.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash

source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh

make hw -f Makefile.fpga.

The job always finishes in less than a second, with an empty error file (build.sh.eXXXX) and the following output file (build.sh.oXXXX):

# End of output for job 799108.v-qsvr-1.aidevcloud

I am able to run the build.sh script in an interactive session on an fpga_compile node with no problems, but as expected it takes a long time and it would be useful if I could queue multiple batch FPGA compile jobs. 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you please include the path to the working directory (ie, the path to Makefile.fpga) in build.sh

build.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash

source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh

cd /<path>/

make hw -f Makefile.fpga

If the issue still persists, please let us know.

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you please give us an update? Is your issue resolved?

Thanks.

Yes - Adding 'cd <dir>' did the trick, the issue is now resolved.

Thanks!
