The Open Science Grid

The Open Science Grid (OSG), is an ideal resource for large-scale non-time-senstive analyses. bilby_pipe provides a simple interface to enable jobs to be submitted through the OSG.

To run jobs through the OSG, login to

ssh albert.einstein@ldas-osg.ligo.caltech.edu

Then submit usual bilby_pipe jobs, but with the flat

osg = True

In your configuration (ini) files.

Note

When running on the OSG, the software you run needs to be available on the compute nodes. This is most easily done by using the IGWN conda distribution available through cvmfs. We do not support access to arbitrary software installations across the OSG. For testing, you may find it useful to use the:code:analysis-executable to point to the cvmfs-installed bilby_pipe_analysis executable.
