I'm currently trying to run some quick diagnostic tests on some parallel code. I'm submitting the code through a batch system to the cluster backend through .pbs scripts. I'm capturing the diagnostic data from the executables but I would like to plot them using GNUPLOT.

Is there anyway to do this? I've ssh'd into the cluster front-end through an x11 term, so I feel like I'm almost there. Perhaps something I could do by passing the - I flag to qsub?

I'm also aware that this may not at all be the best way to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated (e.g. can a .pbs script run the plot command on the front-end?)

  • I do not quite understand what's your problem. Can you run `gnuplot` on the frontend while the compute job is running on the nodes? Can you access the diagnostic data from the frontend at all while the job is running? – Dima Chubarov Mar 10 '14 at 04:06
  • I use gnuplot on the front end in our cluster, not problem with that. Are you ssh'ing with the -X option? Otherwise you'll only be able to use certain terminals. – Miguel Mar 10 '14 at 09:12
