  • Building a Beowulf Cluster
    Building a Beowulf cluster Åsmund Ødegård April 4, 2001 1 Introduction The main part of the introduction is only contained in the slides for this session. Some of the acronyms and names in this paper may be unknown. In Appendix B we includ short descriptions for some of them. Most of this is taken from “whatis” [6] 2 Outline of the installation ² Install linux on a PC ² Configure the PC to act as a install–server for the cluster ² Wire up the network if that isn’t done already ² Install linux on the rest of the nodes ² Configure one PC, e.g the install–server, to be a server for your cluster. These are the main steps required to build a linux cluster, but each step can be done in many different ways. How you prefer to do it, depends mainly on personal taste, though. Therefor, I will translate the given outline into this list: ² Install Debian GNU/Linux on a PC ² Install and configure “FAI” on the PC ² Build the “FAI” boot–floppy ² Assemble hardware information, and finalize the “FAI” configuration ² Boot each node with the boot–floppy ² Install and configure a queue system and software for running parallel jobs on your cluster 3 Debian The choice of Linux distribution is most of all a matter of personal taste. I prefer the Debian distri- bution for various reasons. So, the first step in the cluster–building process is to pick one of the PCs as a install–server, and install Debian onto it, as follows: ² Make sure that the computer can boot from cdrom.

This manual provides a quickstart guide for linguists with just the essential things that you need to get started. More 1 extensive documentation is available from the CTAN-archive. Forest is based on the TikZ package; more information about its commands, in par- ticular those controlling the appearance of the nodes, the arrows, and the highlighting can be found in the TikZ documentation. 2 Loading Forest In your preamble, put \usepackage[linguistics]{forest} The linguistics option makes for nice trees, in which the branches meet above the two nodes that they join; it will also align the example number (provided by linguex) with the top of the tree: (1) CP C IP I VP V NP 3 Basic Usage Forest uses a familiar labelled brackets syntax. The code below will out- put the tree in (1) above (\ex. requires the linguex package and provides the example number): \ex. \begin{forest} [CP[C][IP[I][VP[V][NP]]]] \end{forest} Forest will parse the above code without problem, but you are likely to soon get lost in your labelled brackets with more complicated trees if you write the code this way. The better alternative is to arrange the nodes over multiple lines: 2 \ex.

  • Metadata for Everyone a Simple, Low-Cost Methodology Timothy D
    SAS Global Forum 2008 Data Integration Paper 138-2008 Metadata for Everyone A Simple, Low-Cost Methodology Timothy D. Brown, Altoona, IA ABSTRACT In the context of Base SAS® programming, this paper uses “hardcoded” values as an introduction to “metadata” and the reasons for using it. It then describes a low cost and simple methodology for maintaining any kind of metadata. INTRODUCTION This discussion will take an indirect approach to defining metadata. It’ll describe the metadata which might be included, or hard-coded, in a Base SAS program and propose alternatives to storing and using the metadata. Outside of programs “data” and “code” are distinct. However within programs, the distinction gets blurred when data values, called “hardcoded” data, are included within the code. Hardcoded values include, but are not limited to: • Text constants, literals • Names of companies, people, organizations and places • Directory paths and file names • Parameters on SAS procedures such as WHERE, KEEP, DROP, RENAME, VARS, BY etc • Numeric constants including dates* • Statistical constants • Period begin and end dates • Mixed text and numeric values • Expressions in IF and WHERE clauses • What-if scenarios (* excluding dates which are derived logically using a SAS functions such as TODAY(), DATETIME(), INTNX and NXTPD) In addition, many small conversion, cross-reference and look-up tables, which might be hardcoded as SAS formats or read into a program from many different sources, work well as metadata and fit into this framework. Obviously, some hardcoded values might never change in the life of a program. So it might be prudent to leave some hardcoded values in the code.

  • Four Ways to Reorder Your Variables, Ranked by Elegance and Efficiency Louise S
    Order, Order! Four Ways To Reorder Your Variables, Ranked by Elegance and Efficiency Louise S. Hadden, Abt Associates Inc. ABSTRACT SAS® practitioners are frequently required to present variables in an output data file in a particular order, or standards may require variables in a production data file to be in a particular order. This paper and presentation offer several methods for reordering variables in a data file, encompassing both DATA step and procedural methods. Relative efficiency and elegance of the solutions will be discussed. INTRODUCTION SAS provides us with numerous methods to control all types of SAS output, including SAS data files, data tables in other formats, and ODS output. This paper focuses solely on output SAS data files (which may then be used to generate SAS data files and other types of output from SAS processes), and specifically on DATA step and PROC SQL methods. This short paper and presentation is suitable for all SAS practitioners at all levels of expertise. Attendees will gain a greater understanding of the processes by which SAS assigns variable attributes, including variable/column order within a data file, and how to obtain information on variable attributes – and in the process, learn how to reorder variables within a SAS data file. KNOW THY DATA It is always important to understand fully and explore the inputs to SAS-created output. SAS has provided users with a variety of possibilities in terms of determining locations of variables or columns (and other important details comprising metadata). These possibilities include, but are not limited to: 1. The CONTENTS Procedure 2.

  • External Commands
    5/22/2018 External commands External commands Previous | Content | Next External commands are known as Disk residence commands. Because they can be store with DOS directory or any disk which is used for getting these commands. Theses commands help to perform some specific task. These are stored in a secondary storage device. Some important external commands are given below- MORE MOVE FIND DOSKEY MEM FC DISKCOPY FORMAT SYS CHKDSK ATTRIB XCOPY SORT LABEL 1. MORE:-Using TYPE command we can see the content of any file. But if length of file is greater than 25 lines then remaining lines will scroll up. To overcome through this problem we uses MORE command. Using this command we can pause the display after each 25 lines. Syntax:- C:\> TYPE <File name> | MORE C:\> TYPE ROSE.TXT | MORE or C: \> DIR | MORE 2. MEM:-This command displays free and used amount of memory in the computer. Syntax:- C:\> MEM the computer will display the amount of memory. 3. SYS:- This command is used for copy system files to any disk. The disk having system files are known as Bootable Disk, which are used for booting the computer. Syntax:- C:\> SYS [Drive name] C:\> SYS A: System files transferred This command will transfer the three main system files COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS to the floppy disk. 4. XCOPY:- When we need to copy a directory instant of a file from one location to another the we uses xcopy command. This command is much faster than copy command. Syntax:- C:\> XCOPY < Source dirname > <Target dirname> C:\> XCOPY TC TURBOC 5.

  • SAS Programming Tips
    TUESDAY TIPS – SAS PROGRAMMING Weekly Tip for Nov. 3, 2020 Your data dictionary contains some variables that can iterate - for example, the unknown # of COVID tests for an unknown # of infants. How do you manage documentation? A data dictionary for a file based on Electronic Medical Records (EMR) contains variables which represent an unknown number of COVID tests for an unknown number of infants – there is no way to know in advance how many iterations of this variable will exist in the actual data file. In addition, variables in this file may exist for three different groups (pregnant women, postpartum women, and infants), with PR, PP and IN prefixes, respectively. This Tuesday Tip demonstrates how to process such variables in a data dictionary to drive label (and value label) description creation for iterated (and other) labels using SAS functions, as well as other utilities. Using PROC CONTENTS and ODS OUTPUT on an imported data dictionary (example shown above) and a data file from a health care entity, the position ODS OUTPUT object is created, and the column variable is standardized using the UPCASE function. ************************************************************; *** Import Personal Data Dictionary one tab at a time ***; ************************************************************; %macro imptabs(tabn=1, tabnm=identifiers, intab=Identifiers, startrow=10, endcol=H); proc import dbms=xlsx out = temp datafile = " \file.xlsx" replace; RANGE="&intab.$A&startrow.:&endcol.999"; getnames=YES; run; . data labels&tabn.; length label
