Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 16th, at 8:00 pm (Eastern Time) we will be joined by Costas Mouzouras, Manager of Gotham Wines & Liquors and wine-master par excellence. We will talk about kosher wine and how it evolved from being the industry's laughingstock to where it's winning international awards in direct competition with the finest wines from all over the world.
Costas hails from Cyprus, where his grandfather was a winemaker. During summer vacations from school, young Costas would help out in the winery. In 1988 he came to these shores to attend Queens College and shortly after, at a friend's urging, he took a job at Gotham and he's been there ever since. He first became the kosher wine buyer, at a time when the choices were very limited. As he advanced in rank – at Gotham – so did the quality and the number of kosher wine selections.
In the second half of our broadcast, at 8:30pm, Alessandra Rovati (Dinner in Venice), Esti Berkowitz,(Primetime Parenting), Kim Amzallag, (Director of Marketing for The Jewish Daily Forward) and Shoshana Raff (The Kosher Shopaholic) and Roberta Scher (KosherEye), will join me for a discussion on last week's Kosherfest 2011. What impressed us, what trends became apparent, where the kosher industry might venture next, how the internet is impacting it all; we will cover these topics and more. Please tune us in at BlogTalkRadio.com/ tomorrow at 8:30pm (Eastern Time) for an interesting and informative show. We'll be wait'n for ya!

Cheaha is a cluster computing environment for UAB researchers.Information about the history and future plans for Cheaha is available on the cheaha page.
Access (Cluster Account Request)
To request an account on Cheaha, please submit an authorization request to the IT Research Computing staff. Please include some background information about the work you plan on doing on the cluster and the group you work with, ie. your lab or affiliation.
Usage of Cheaha is governed by UAB's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for computer resources.
The official DNS name of Cheaha's frontend machine is cheaha.rc.uab.edu. If you want to refer to the machine as cheaha, you'll have to either add the "rc.uab.edu" to you computer's DNS search path. On Unix-derived systems (Linux, Mac) you can edit your computers /etc/resolv.conf as follows (you'll need administrator access to edit this file)
search rc.uab.edu
Or you can customize your SSH configuration to use the short name "cheaha" as a connection name. On systems using OpenSSH you can add the following to your ~/.ssh/config file
Host cheaha Hostname cheaha.rc.uab.edu
Once your account has been created, you'll receive an email containing your user ID, generally your Blazer ID. Logging into Cheaha requires an SSH client. Most UAB Windows workstations already have an SSH client installed, possibly named SSH Secure Shell Client or PuTTY. Linux and Mac OS X systems should have an SSH client installed by default.
Usage of Cheaha is governed by UAB's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for computer resources.
Client Configuration
This section will cover steps to configure Windows, Linux and Mac OS X clients to connect to Cheaha.
Linux systems, regardless of the flavor (RedHat, SuSE, Ubuntu, etc...), should already have an SSH client on the system as part of the default install.
- Start a terminal (on RedHat click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, on Ubuntu Ctrl+Alt+T)
- At the prompt, enter the following command to connect to Cheaha (Replace blazerid with your Cheaha userid)
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
Mac OS X
Mac OS X is a Unix operating system (BSD) and has a built in ssh client.
- Start a terminal (click Finder, type Terminal and double click on Terminal under the Applications category)
- At the prompt, enter the following command to connect to Cheaha (Replace blazerid with your Cheaha userid)
ssh email@example.com
There are many SSH clients available for Windows, some commercial and some that are free (GPL). This section will cover two clients that are commonly found on UAB Windows systems.
MobaXterm is a free (also available for a price in a Profession version) suite of SSH tools. Of the Windows clients we've used, MobaXterm is the easiest to use and feature complete. Features include (but not limited to):
- SSH client (in a handy web browser like tabbed interface)
- Embedded Cygwin (which allows Windows users to run many Linux commands like grep, rsync, sed)
- Remote file system browser (graphical SFTP)
- X11 forwarding for remotely displaying graphical content from Cheaha
- Installs without requiring Windows Administrator rights
Start MobaXterm and click the Session toolbar button (top left). Click SSH for the session type, enter the following information and click OK. Once finished, double click cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu in the list of Saved sessions under PuTTY sessions:
|Cheaha Settings
|Remote host
PuTTY is a free suite of SSH and telnet tools written and maintained by Simon Tatham. PuTTY supports SSH, secure FTP (SFTP), and X forwarding (XTERM) among other tools.
- Start PuTTY (Click START -> All Programs -> PuTTY -> PuTTY). The 'PuTTY Configuration' window will open
- Use these settings for each of the clusters that you would like to configure
|Cheaha Settings
|Host Name (or IP address)
|Saved Sessions
- Click Save to save the configuration, repeat the previous steps for the other clusters
- The next time you start PuTTY, simply double click on the cluster name under the 'Saved Sessions' list
SSH Secure Shell Client
SSH Secure Shell is a commercial application that is installed on many Windows workstations on campus and can be configured as follows:
- Start the program (Click START -> All Programs -> SSH Secure Shell -> Secure Shell Client). The 'default - SSH Secure Shell' window will open
- Click File -> Profiles -> Add Profile to open the 'Add Profile' window
- Type in the name of the cluster (for example: cheaha) in the field and click 'Add to Profiles'
- Click File -> Profiles -> Edit Profiles to open the 'Profiles' window
- Single click on your new profile name
- Use these settings for the clusters
|Cheaha Settings
|Host name
|User name
|blazerid (insert your blazerid here)

|MAC algorithm
|Terminal answerback
- Leave 'Connect through firewall' and 'Request tunnels only' unchecked
- Click OK to save the configuration, repeat the previous steps for the other clusters
- The next time you start SSH Secure Shell, click 'Profiles' and click the cluster name
Logging in to Cheaha
No matter which client you use to connect to the Cheaha, the first time you connect, the SSH client should display a message asking if you would like to import the hosts public key. Answer Yes to this question.
- Connect to Cheaha using one of the methods listed above
- Answer Yes to import the cluster's public key
- Enter your BlazerID password
- If you were issued a temporary password, enter it (Passwords are CaSE SensitivE!!!) You should see a message similar to this
You are required to change your password immediately (password aged)
WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changing password for user joeuser. Changing password for joeuser (current) UNIX password:

Queing System
All work on Cheaha must be submitted to our queing system (SLURM). A common mistake made by new users is to run 'jobs' on the head node or login node. This section gives a basic overview of what a queuing system is and why we use it.
What is a queuing system?
- Software that gives users fair allocation of the cluster's resources
- Schedules jobs based using resource requests (the following are commonly requested resources, there are many more that are available)
- Number of processors (often referred to as "slots")
- Maximum memory (RAM) required per slot
- Maximum run time
- Common queuing systems:
- Sun Grid Engine (Also know as SGE, OGE, GE)
- OpenPBS
- Torque
- LSF (load sharing facility)
SLURM is a queue management system and stands for Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management. SLURM was developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab and currently runs some of the largest compute clusters in the world. SLURM is now the primary job manager on Cheaha, it replaces SUN Grid Engine (SGE) the job manager used earlier.
Typical Workflow
- Stage data to $USER_SCRATCH (your scratch directory)
- Research how to run your code in "batch" mode. Batch mode typically means the ability to run it from the command line without requiring any interaction from the user.
- Identify the appropriate resources needed to run the job. The following are mandatory resource requests for all jobs on Cheaha
- Maximum memory (RAM) required per slot
- Maximum runtime
- Write a job script specifying queuing system parameters, resource requests and commands to run program
- Submit script to queuing system (sbatch script.job)
- Monitor job (squeue)
- Review the results and resubmit as necessary
- Clean up the scratch directory by moving or deleting the data off of the cluster
Resource Requests
Accurate resource requests are extremely important to the health of the over all cluster. In order for Cheaha to operate properly, the queing system must know how much runtime and RAM each job will need.

Submitting Jobs
Batch Jobs are submitted on Cheaha by using the "sbatch" command. The full manual for sbtach is available by running the following command
man sbatch
Job Script File Format
To submit a job to the queuing systems, you will first define your job in a script (a text file) and then submit that script to the queuing system.
The script file needs to be formatted as a UNIX file, not a Windows or Mac text file. In geek speak, this means that the end of line (EOL) character should be a line feed (LF) rather than a carriage return line feed (CRLF) for Windows or carriage return (CR) for Mac.
If you submit a job script formatted as a Windows or Mac text file, your job will likely fail with misleading messages, for example that the path specified does not exist.
Windows Notepad does not have the ability to save files using the UNIX file format. Do NOT use Notepad to create files intended for use on the clusters. Instead use one of the alternative text editors listed in the following section.
Converting Files to UNIX Format
Dos2Unix Method
The lines below that begin with $ are commands, the $ represents the command prompt and should not be typed!
The dos2unix program can be used to convert Windows text files to UNIX files with a simple command. After you have copied the file to your home directory on the cluster, you can identify that the file is a Windows file by executing the following (Windows uses CR LF as the line terminator, where UNIX uses only LF and Mac uses only CR):
$ file testfile.txt testfile.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
Now, convert the file to UNIX
$ dos2unix testfile.txt dos2unix: converting file testfile.txt to UNIX format ...
Verify the conversion using the file command
$ file testfile.txt testfile.txt: ASCII text
Alternative Windows Text Editors
There are many good text editors available for Windows that have the capability to save files using the UNIX file format. Here are a few:
- [Geany] is an excellent free text editor for Windows and Linux that supports Windows, UNIX and Mac file formats, syntax highlighting and many programming features. To convert from Windows to UNIX click Document click Set Line Endings and then Convert and Set to LF (Unix)
- [Notepad++] is a great free Windows text editor that supports Windows, UNIX and Mac file formats, syntax highlighting and many programming features. To convert from Windows to UNIX click Format and then click Convert to UNIX Format
- [TextPad] is another excellent Windows text editor. TextPad is not free, however.
Example Batch Job Script
A shared cluster environment like Cheaha uses a job scheduler to run tasks on the cluster to provide optimal resource sharing among users. Cheaha uses a job scheduling system call SGE to schedule and manage jobs. A user needs to tell SGE about resource requirements (e.g. CPU, memory) so that it can schedule jobs effectively. These resource requirements along with actual application code can be specified in a single file commonly referred as 'Job Script/File'. Following is a simple job script that prints job number and hostname.
#!/bin/bash # #SBATCH --job-name=test #SBATCH --output=res.txt #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --time=10:00 #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=100 #SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL #SBATCH --firstname.lastname@example.com srun hostname srun sleep 60
Lines starting with '#SBATCH' have a special meaning in the SLURM world. SLURM specific configuration options are specified after the '#SBATCH' characters. Above configuration options are useful for most job scripts and for additional configuration options refer to SLURM commands manual. A job script is submitted to the cluster using SLURM specific commands. There are many commands available, but following three commands are the most common:
- sbatch - to submit job
- scancel - to delete job
- squeue - to view job status
We can submit above job script using sbatch command:
$ sbatch HelloCheaha.sh Submitted batch job 52707
When the job script is submitted, SLURM queues it up and assigns it a job number (e.g. 52707 in above example). The job number is available inside job script using environment variable $JOB_ID. This variable can be used inside job script to create job related directory structure or file names.
Interactive Resources
Login Node (the host that you connected to when you setup the SSH connection to Cheaha) is supposed to be used for submitting jobs and/or lighter prep work required for the job scripts. Do not run heavy computations on the login node. If you have a heavier workload to prepare for a batch job (eg. compiling code or other manipulations of data) or your compute application requires interactive control, you should request a dedicated interactive node for this work.
Interactive resources are requested by submitting an "interactive" job to the scheduler. Interactive jobs will provide you a command line on a compute resource that you can use just like you would the command line on the login node. The difference is that the scheduler has dedicated the requested resources to your job and you can run your interactive commands without having to worry about impacting other users on the login node.
Interactive jobs, that can be run on command line, are requested with the srun command.
srun --ntasks=4 --mem-per-cpu=4096 --time=08:00:00 --partition=medium --job-name=JOB_NAME --pty /bin/bash
This command requests for 4 cores (--ntasks) with each task requesting size 4GB of RAM for 8 hrs (--time).
More advanced interactive scenarios to support graphical applications are available using VNC or X11 tunneling X-Win32 2014 for Windows
Interactive jobs that requires running a graphical application, are requested with the sinteractive command, via Terminal on your VNC window.
No Automatic Backups
There is no automatic back up of any data on the cluster (home, scratch, or whatever). All data back up is managed by you. If you aren't managing a data back up process, then you have no backup data.
Home directories
Your home directory on Cheaha is NFS-mounted to the compute nodes as /home/$USER or $HOME. It is acceptable to use your home directory a location to store job scripts, custom code, libraries, job scripts.
The home directory must not be used to store large amounts of data. Please use $USER_SCRATCH for actively used data sets or request shared scratch space for shared data sets.
Research Computing policy requires that all bulky input and output must be located on the scratch space. The home directory is intended to store your job scripts, log files, libraries and other supporting files.
Important Information:
- Scratch space (network and local) is not backed up.
- Research Computing expects each user to keep their scratch areas clean. The cluster scratch area are not to be used for archiving data.
Cheaha has two types of scratch space, network mounted and local.
- Network scratch ($USER_SCRATCH) is available on the head node and each compute node. This storage is a Lustre high performance file system providing roughly 240TB of storage. This should be your jobs primary working directory, unless the job would benefit from local scratch (see below).
- Local scratch is physically located on each compute node and is not accessible to the other nodes (including the head node). This space is useful if the job performs a lot of file I/O. Most of the jobs that run on our clusters do not fall into this category. Because the local scratch is inaccessible outside the job, it is important to note that you must move any data between local scratch to your network accessible scratch within your job. For example, step 1 in the job could be to copy the input from $USER_SCRATCH to ${USER_SCRATCH}, step 2 code execution, step 3 move the data back to $USER_SCRATCH.
Network Scratch
Network scratch is available using the environment variable $USER_SCRATCH or directly by /scratch/user/${USER}
It is advisable to use the environment variable whenever possible rather than the hard coded path.
Local Scratch
Each compute node has a local scratch directory that is accessible via the scheduler variable $TMPDIR. If your job performs a lot of file I/O, the job should use $TMPDIR rather than $USER_SCRATCH to prevent bogging down the network scratch fil system. The amount of scratch space available on each compute node is approximately 40GB.
The $TMPDIR is a special temporary directory created by the scheduler uniq for the job. It's important to note that this directory is deleted when the job completes, so the job script has to move the results to $USER_SCRATCH or other location prior to the job exiting.
Note that $TMPDIR is only useful for jobs in which all processes run on the same compute node, so MPI jobs are not candidates for this solution.
The following is an array job example that uses $TMPDIR by transferring the inputs into $TMPDIR at the beginning of the script and the result out of $TMPDIR at the end of the script.
#!/bin/bash #$ -S /bin/bash #$ -cwd # #$ -N local_scratch_example #$ -pe smp 1 #$ -t 1-1000 # Maximum Job Runtime (ex: 20 minutes) #$ -l h_rt=00:20:00 # Maximum memory needed per slot (ex: 2 GB) #$ -l vf=2G # #$ -j y # #$ -M YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS #$ -m eas # # Load modules if necessary source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh module load R/R-2.9.0 echo "TMPDIR: $TMPDIR" cd $TMPDIR # Create a working directory under the special scheduler local scratch directory # using the array job's taskID mdkir $SGE_TASK_ID cd $SGE_TASK_ID # Next copy the input data to the local scratch echo "Copying input data from network scratch to $TMPDIR/$SGE_TASK_ID - $(date) # The input data in this case has a numerical file extension that # matches $SGE_TASK_ID cp -a $USER_SCRATCH/GeneData/INP*.$SGE_TASK_ID ./ echo "copied input data from network scratch to $TMPDIR/$SGE_TASK_ID - $(date) someapp -S 1 -D 10 -i INP*.$SGE_TASK_ID -o geneapp.out.$SGE_TASK_ID # Lastly copy the results back to network scratch echo "Copying results from local $TMPDIR/$SGE_TASK_ID to network - $(date) cp -a geneapp.out.$SGE_TASK_ID $USER_SCRATCH/GeneData/ echo "Copied results from local $TMPDIR/$SGE_TASK_ID to network - $(date)
Project Storage
Cheaha has a location where shared data can be stored called $SHARE_SCRATCH . As with user scratch, this area is not backed up!
This is helpful if a team of researchers must access the same data. Please open a help desk ticket to request a project directory under $SHARE_SCRATCH.
Uploading Data
Data can be moved onto the cluster (pushed) from a remote client (ie. you desktop) via SCP or SFTP. Data can also be downloaded to the cluster (pulled) by issuing transfer commands once you are logged into the cluster. Common transfer methods are `wget <URL>`, FTP, or SCP, and depend on how the data is made available from the data provider.
Large data sets should be staged directly to your $USER_SCRATCH directory so as not to fill up $HOME. If you are working on a data set shared with multiple users, it's preferable to request space in $SHARE_SCRATCH rather than duplicating the data for each user.
Environment Modules
Environment Modules is installed on Cheaha and should be used when constructing your job scripts if an applicable module file exists. Using the module command you can easily configure your environment for specific software packages without having to know the specific environment variables and values to set. Modules allows you to dynamically configure your environment without having to logout / login for the changes to take affect.
If you find that specific software does not have a module, please submit a helpdesk ticket to request the module.
- Cheaha supports bash completion for the module command. For example, type 'module' and press the TAB key twice to see a list of options:

Some software packages have multiple module files, for example:
In this case, the GCC module will always load the latest version, so loading this module is equivalent to loading GCC/4.9.3-2.25. If you always want to use the latest version, use this approach. If you want use a specific version, use the module file containing the appropriate version number.
Some modules, when loaded, will actually load other modules. For example, the GROMACS/5.0.5-intel-2015b-hybrid module will also load intel/2015b and other related tools.
- To load a module, ex: for a GROMACS job, use the following module load command in your job script:
module load GROMACS/5.0.5-intel-2015b-hybrid

Error Using Modules from a Job Script
If you are using modules and the command your job executes runs fine from the command line but fails when you run it from the job, you may be having an issue with the script initialization. If you see this error in your job error output file
-bash: module: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file -bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_module'
Add the command `unset module` before calling your module files. The -V job argument will cause a conflict with the module function used in your script.
Sample Job Scripts
The following are sample job scripts, please be careful to edit these for your environment (i.e. replace YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS with your real email address), set the h_rt to an appropriate runtime limit and modify the job name and any other parameters.
Hello World is the classic example used throughout programming. We don't want to buck the system, so we'll use it as well to demonstrate jobs submission with one minor variation: our hello world will send us a greeting using the name of whatever machine it runs on. For example, when run on the Cheaha head node, it would print "Hello from cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu".
Hello World (serial)
A serial job is one that can run independently of other commands, ie. it doesn't depend on the data from other jobs running simultaneously. You can run many serial jobs in any order. This is a common solution to processing lots of data when each command works on a single piece of data. For example, running the same conversion on 100's of images.
Here we show how to create job script for one simple command. Running more than one command just requires submitting more jobs.
- Create your hello world application. Run this command to create a script, turn it into to a command, and run the command (just copy and past the following on to the command line).
cat > helloworld.sh << EOF #!/bin/bash echo Hello from `hostname` EOF chmod +x helloworld.sh ./helloworld.sh
- Create the SLURM job script that will request 256 MB RAM and a maximum runtime of 10 minutes
$ vi helloworld.job
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --share #SBATCH --partition=express # # Name your job to make it easier for you to track # #SBATCH --job-name=helloworld # # Set your error and output files # #SBATCH --error=helloworld.err #SBATCH --output=helloworld.out #SBATCH --ntasks=1 # # Tell the scheduler only need 10 minutes # #SBATCH --time=00:10:00 #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=256 # # Set your email address and request notification when you job is complete or if it fails # #SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL #SBATCH --email@example.com srun ./helloworld.sh
- Submit the job to SLURM scheduler and check the status using squeue
$ sbatch helloworld.job Submitted batch job 52888
- When the job completes, you should have output files named helloworld.out and helloworld.err
$ cat helloworld.out Hello from c0003
Hello World (parallel with MPI)
MPI is used to coordinate the activity of many computations occurring in parallel. It is commonly used in simulation software for molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, and similar domains where there is significant communication (data) exchanged between cooperating process.
Here is a simple parallel SLURM job script for running commands the rely on MPI. This example also includes the example of compiling the code and submitting the job script to the SLURM scheduler.
- First, create a directory for the Hello World jobs
$ mkdir -p ~/jobs/helloworld $ cd ~/jobs/helloworld
- Create the Hello World code written in C (this example of MPI enabled Hello World includes a 3 minute sleep to ensure the job runs for several minutes, a normal hello world example would run in a matter of seconds).
$ vi helloworld-mpi.c
#include <stdio.h> #include <mpi.h> main(int argc, char **argv) { int node; int i, j; float f; MPI_Init(&argc,&argv); MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &node); printf("Hello World from Node %d.\n", node); sleep(180); for (j=0; j<=100000; j++) for(i=0; i<=100000; i++) f=i*2.718281828*i+i+i*3.141592654; MPI_Finalize(); }
- Compile the code, first purging any modules you may have loaded followed by loading the module for OpenMPI GNU. The mpicc command will compile the code and produce a binary named helloworld_gnu_openmpi
$ module purge $ module load OpenMPI/1.8.8-GNU-4.9.3-2.25 $ mpicc helloworld-mpi.c -o helloworld_gnu_openmpi
- Create the Grid Engine job script that will request 8 cpu slots and a maximum runtime of 10 minutes
$ vi helloworld.job
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --share #SBATCH --partition=express # # Name your job to make it easier for you to track # #SBATCH --job-name=helloworld_mpi # # Set your error and output files # #SBATCH --error=helloworld_mpi.err #SBATCH --output=helloworld_mpi.out #SBATCH --nodes=2 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4 # # Tell the scheduler only need 10 minutes # #SBATCH --time=00:01:00 #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=256 # # Set your email address and request notification when you job is complete or if it fails # #SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL #SBATCH --email@example.com module load OpenMPI/1.8.8-GNU-4.9.3-2.25 srun mpirun helloworld_gnu_openmpi
- Submit the job to SLURM scheduler and check the status using squeue -u BLAZERID
$ sbatch helloworld.job Submitted batch job 52893 $ squeue -u BLAZERID JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 52893 express hellowor BLAZERID R 2:07 2 c[0005-0006]
- When the job completes, you should have output files named helloworld_mpi.out and helloworld_mpi.err
$ cat helloworld_mpi.out Hello world! I'm 0 of 8 on compute-0-3.local Hello world! I'm 1 of 8 on compute-0-3.local Hello world! I'm 4 of 8 on compute-0-3.local Hello world! I'm 6 of 8 on compute-0-6.local Hello world! I'm 5 of 8 on compute-0-3.local Hello world! I'm 7 of 8 on compute-0-6.local Hello world! I'm 2 of 8 on compute-0-3.local Hello world! I'm 3 of 8 on compute-0-3.local
Hello World (mini-cluster environment)
You may have a computing problem that needs several computers at the same time but it isn't an MPI based solution. In other words, sometimes you just need a cluster to run your work on because you have tasks that run on different computers. SGE and OpenMPI make it easy to reserve your own cluster.
This example illustrates how to set up the request for your mini-cluster.
We start by making a slight modification to our submit script to request more than one computer at a time and then run our serial command on sever machines at the same time. This example basically takes the qsub script from the MPI example and executes the helloworld.sh command using mpirun. mpirun is actually a utility that helps you start processes on different computers and provides information that you command can use if it is compiled with MPI libraries. In this example, we are just using it as a tool to control the cluster we just requested. Think of mpirun as a subscheduler that controls the mini-cluster you requested via SGE.
Edit the qsub script from the MPI example above to call your helloworld.sh script instead of the MPI-based helloworld we built above. Change the mpirun line in the qsub:
mpirun -np $NSLOTS helloworld_gnu_openmpi
to the following
mpirun -np $NSLOTS hostname
Once you've made this change you can run your qsub again and this time you'll see output from helloworld.sh as it was run on each node in your mini-cluster.
$ qsub helloworld.job Your job 8143408 ("HelloWorld") has been submitted $ qstat job-ID prior name user state submit/start at queue slots ja-task-ID ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8143408 0.00000 HelloWorld jpr qw 09/16/2011 11:02:01 8
If you want to change the size of your cluster, just specify a different size on the command line when you submit the job via qsub. Command line arguments to qsub override the settings inside you qsub script.
$ qsub -pe openmpi 2
Typically, if you are requesting your own mini-cluster you are usually not interested in running the exact same command on each node in your cluster. You could use the regular serial commands for that. Ordinarily, you will want to start different commands on different parts of your cluster, like you would in the Hadoop example.
Hello World (serial) -- revisited
The job submit scripts (qsub scripts) are actually bash shell scripts in their own right. The reason for using the funky #$ prefix in the scripts is so that bash interprets any such line as a comment and won't execute it. Because the # character starts a comment in bash, we can weave the scheduler directives (the #$ lines) into standard bash scripts. This lets us build scripts that we can execute locally and then easily run the same script to on a cluster node by calling it with qsub. This can be used to our advantage to create a more fluid experience moving between development and production job runs.
The following example is a simple variation on the serial job above. All we will do is convert our qsub script into a command called helloworld that calls the helloworld.sh command.
If the first line of a file is #!/bin/bash and that file is executable, the shell will automatically run the command as if were any other system command, eg. ls. That is, the ".sh" extension on our HelloWorld.sh script is completely optional and is only meaningful to the user.
Copy the serial helloworld.job script to a new file, add a the special #!/bin/bash as the first line, and make it executable with the following command (note: those are single quotes in the echo command):
echo '#!/bin/bash' | cat helloworld.job > helloworld ; chmod +x helloworld
Our qsub script has now become a regular command. We can now execute the command with the simple prefix "./helloworld", which means "execute this file in the current directory":
./helloworld Hello from cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu
Or if we want to run the command on a compute node, replace the "./" prefix with "qsub ":
$ qsub helloworld Your job 8143171 ("HelloWorld_serial") has been submitted
And when the cluster run is complete you can look at the content of the output:
$ cat HelloWorld_serial.o8143171 Hello from sipsey-compute-0-5.local
You can use this approach of treating you qsub files as command wrappers to build a collection of commands that can be executed locally or via qsub. The other examples can be restructured similarly.
To avoid having to use the "./" prefix, just add the current directory to your PATH. Also, if you plan to do heavy development using this feature on the cluster, please be sure to run qrsh first so you don't load the head node with our development work.
#!/bin/bash #$ -S /bin/bash # # Request the maximum runtime for the job #$ -l h_rt=2:00:00,s_rt=1:55:00 # # Request the maximum memory needed for each slot / processor core #$ -l vf=256M # # Send mail only when the job ends #$ -m e # # Execute from the current working directory #$ -cwd # #$ -j y # # Job Name and email #$ -N G-4CPU-intel #$ -M YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS # # Use OpenMPI parallel environment and 4 slots #$ -pe openmpi* 4 # # Load the appropriate module(s) . /etc/profile.d/modules.sh module load gromacs/gromacs-4-intel # #$ -V # # Change directory to the job working directory if not already there cd ${USER_SCRATCH}/jobs/gromacs # Single precision MDRUN=mdrun_mpi # The $NSLOTS variable is set automatically by SGE to match the number of # slots requests export MYFILE=production-Npt-323K_${NSLOTS}CPU mpirun -np $NSLOTS $MDRUN -v -np $NSLOTS -s $MYFILE -o $MYFILE -c $MYFILE -x $MYFILE -e $MYFILE -g ${MYFILE}.log
If you are using LAM MPI for parallel jobs, you must add the following two lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc file.
module load lammpi/lam-7.1-gnu
The following is an example job script that will use an array of 1000 tasks (-t 1-1000), each task has a max runtime of 2 hours and will use no more than 256 MB of RAM per task (h_rt=2:00:00,vf=256M)
The array is also throttled to only run 32 concurrent tasks at any time (-tc 32), this feature is not available on coosa.
More R examples are available here: Running R Jobs on a Rocks Cluster
Create a working directory and the job submission script
$ mkdir -p ~/jobs/ArrayExample $ cd ~/jobs/ArrayExample $ vi R-example-array.job
#!/bin/bash #$ -S /bin/bash # # Request the maximum runtime for the job #$ -l h_rt=2:00:00,s_rt=1:55:00 # # Request the maximum memory needed for each slot / processor core #$ -l vf=256M # #$ -M YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS # Email me only when tasks abort, use '#$ -m n' to disable all email for this job #$ -m a #$ -cwd #$ -j y # # Job Name #$ -N ArrayExample # #$ -t 1-1000 #$ -tc 32 # #$ -e $HOME/negcon/rep$TASK_ID/$JOB_NAME.e$JOB_ID.$TASK_ID #$ -o $HOME/negcon/rep$TASK_ID/$JOB_NAME.o$JOB_ID.$TASK_ID . /etc/profile.d/modules.sh module load R/R-2.9.0 #$ -v PATH,R_HOME,R_LIBS,LD_LIBRARY_PATH,CWD cd ~/jobs/ArrayExample/rep$SGE_TASK_ID R CMD BATCH rscript.R

Review: Garfield-Stone chemistry saves Spidey 2
Deep into "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," my 11-year-old companion was confused about a certain plot point — justifiably, I'd say — and demanded an immediate and thorough explanation.
"Shh, not now. Later!" I hissed. Because, though I didn't admit it, I really didn't want to miss an Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone kiss. And who knew when the next one was coming?
With great chemistry, you see, comes great kissing.
Let's just say this unequivocally: Whether or not my young Spidey fan would agree, the best thing about the "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," the second installment of director Marc Webb's series reboot, is that infectious chemistry between Garfield and Stone. In fact, given that this overstuffed, overly long film is a sequel to a sequel, and that it spends a gazillion dollars retelling a story (in 3-D and IMAX) that the world already knows, you could argue that the Garfield-Stone dynamic is the real justification for the whole enterprise.
This isn't just because the two happen to be real-life partners - though it can't hurt. Garfield is a sensitive actor who brings a quirky blend of intelligence and goofiness to Peter Parker, and a welcome hipster edge to the role that the wide-eyed Tobey Maguire didn't have in the earlier incarnation of the Marvel character.
As for Stone, she's just so darned charming. And though it's again a stretch to imagine her as a high school student, heck, we'll take it. (In fact, Stone is 25 and Garfield is 30, so we're just gonna have to give them a pass on this. At least they get their diplomas this time.)
Another winning presence is that of Sally Field, touching as the now-widowed Aunt May. The reliable Field gets one terrifically emotional scene with Peter that may have you reaching for a tissue.
As for the plot, though, that may have you reaching for a notepad. There are not one, not two, but three villains (at least!) here, and all sorts of backstories — something for everyone, which means too much.
The most important backstory involves Peter's parents, and what really happened to them once they abandoned him as a tot (hint: it involves a very fast-paced plane ride).
Back on terra firma, we start with an even faster-paced urban chase involving Spider-Man, a hammy, Russian-accented Paul Giamatti, and some plutonium, distracting Peter/Spidey from Gwen, who's anxiously awaiting Peter's arrival at their graduation.
Peter does arrive, miraculously, but we quickly learn that the key obstacle to their relationship remains in place: Peter's fear of putting Gwen in harm's way. Haunted, Peter just can't commit (they always have an excuse, right?) Not surprisingly, Gwen gets very charmingly annoyed, and kinda sorta breaks up with him. But these two can't stay apart for long.
Meanwhile, there are big goings-on at Oscorp, that huge bioengineering corporation headed by Norman Osborn. With Norman on his deathbed, son Harry (Dane DeHaan) Peter's old buddy, returns from boarding school. The pale, wiry DeHaan is entertainingly creepy as he descends into desperation.
Then there's the unappreciated Oscorp employee Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx). When he falls into a vat of mutant electric eels (OSHA would have a field day at Oscorp), he morphs into Electro, a glowing monster who can manipulate electricity and suck the power from a whole city (Foxx is more convincing as the villain than the self-effacing scientist).
In this age of multi-tasking, Peter/Spidey sure has his work cut out for him - taking care of New York, of Gwen, and of the endearingly curious Aunt May, who, in a funny moment, wonders why, when Peter does the laundry, he turns all the clothes red and blue?
Where will it all end? Well, at least two more sequels (to the sequel, to the sequel) are planned, and any number of future confrontations loom. Which of the villains will re-emerge to challenge Spidey?
Shh, not now. Later! We're thinking about that kiss.

Today's News: Our Take - Did India.Arie Lighten Her Skin?
India.Arie can't help but laugh at the accusations that the R&B singer lightened her skin.
"Personally speaking! I'm happy to say I have NOT BLEACHED my skin LOL! ROTF at the thought," she wrote in response to a publicity photo for her song "Cocoa Butter." In the image, her skin appears significantly lighter than her natural tone.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's canceled?
Arie, who's famous for embracing oneself as is, continued to describe how the lighter skin pictured is a result of "magnificent" lighting and that she loves her brown skin more than ever.
"Politically speaking, racism/colorism in the black community is a MUUUUUUUCH larger #SongVersation #skinversaton," she continued, adding, "We can disagree ... but watch your tone and you language on my time line."

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Just as predictable as the weekend fender bashing is the awkward conversation a few days later.
This time, it was Elliott Sadler and Regan Smith. And they talked, too. Even Dale Earnhardt Jr. waded into the fray.
The latest NASCAR feud arrived at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday when Sadler, Smith and rest of the Nationwide drivers held two practice sessions for Sunday's STP 300. The stop in suburban Chicago comes one week after the championship contenders got into a heated discussion in New Hampshire.
"For him to do what he did at New Hampshire, I'm still ticked about it," Sadler said. "But we talked and we agree that our racing's going to change a little bit between us. But we know that we're going to be racing around each other a lot between now and Homestead."
That means the dispute could have staying power, especially after the conversation between Sadler and Smith produced little headway.
It all started when Smith spun Sadler around on the final restart in Saturday's race at Loudon, costing him a shot at a solid top-10 finish and a potential $100,000 bonus. An angry Sadler then confronted Smith after the race, insisting he would not win the series title this year.
"I made the move and I can't take it back," Smith said. "I understand his anger 100 percent, and I know exactly where he was coming from. He was racing for a lot of money and the opportunity to race for a lot of money again this week."
Throwing out what was at stake, Sadler thought the collision was particularly egregious because he felt he handed a big break to Smith when he gave him extra room to maneuver in a tough spot at the series' stop in Iowa and said he went out of his way to race him cleanly earlier in New Hampshire. The two talked during the week, and Earnhardt, the co-owner of Smith's No. 7 Chevrolet, also reached out to close friend Sadler.
"We talked and if it's a situation where we're going for it, I'm sure he's going to race me considerably harder than what he has in the past," Smith said, "and that's to be expected. I would do the same."
Sadler, who won last July's Nationwide race at Chicagoland, shook his head from side to side when asked if he felt any better after the conversation.
"My No. 1 goal is to win the championship and win races," he said. "The effect of me and how I race Regan is just going to change, as far as giving room and give and take and stuff like that is probably going to change a little bit."
Sadler finished 18th in New Hampshire and is fifth in the standings, trailing series leader Smith by 24 points. Sam Hornish Jr. is second, just five points back, and Austin Dillon is third with 16 races left.
"I love it. I hope that they're mad at each other," Dillon said, enjoying the argument between Sadler and Smith. "If not, I'm going to go tell Elliott Regan's talking about him behind his back. I think it's funny."
While arguments between competitors are nothing new in sports, NASCAR drivers seem to make more of an effort to smooth over disputes than say, two hockey players who just got into a fight. When the dugouts clear at a baseball game, don't expect to see the managers jump on the phone to air their grievances.
Sadler said there's a simple reason for that difference.
"When you play hockey, you have 'Blackhawks' written on your jersey, so you're responsible for the Blackhawks," he said. "When you drive racing, we have Fortune 500 companies up here. They don't want you running around, I think, punching people, then setting a bad example. And I think it's a courtesy thing."
Brian Vickers, who won Sunday's Sprint Cup race in New Hampshire, said the calls also happen because drivers spend more time with each other more than competitors in other sports. But Dillon questioned the need for many of them, saying the most important practice is to be responsible to your teammates and race your competitors the way you want to be raced.
"Every driver looks at those things differently and has different ways that they want them to be handled when it happens," Smith said. "It was a situation where I felt like I needed to call even though it was not one of those phone calls you really want to make."

In my continuing series "What to eat in France?" I bring you today one of my favourite convenience foods…
Soja Sun is a brand name to remember if you'll be heading to France any time soon – they make everything from veggie burgers to soy yoghurt. We are all fans of everything they make, though they do make some non-vegan things so keep an eye out for the ingredients.
These are just good, honest and true tofu and veggie goodness. Guppy likes them with mashed potatoes and peas, and I admit if I'm crunched for time these come in very handy for a quick and nutritious lunch. They are gluten-free and totally vegan, and so is the sauce that comes with them. With only 140 calories each, they are very low in fat and have no trans fats, either. There are lots of different flavours, too.
The best thing about the Soja Sun brand is that it's very mainstream and you can find their products everywhere. This is a big advantage, especially to tourists who need food on the fly, but don't always know what to buy or where to find it.
Bon appétit!

Jennifer Aniston and fiancé Justin Theroux hit up the LACMA 2012 gala this weekend. She wore an amazing long black dress, daringly low cut. And it's very well done too. You can barely, barely see the figure skating sheer holding it together. But it's there in a few shots where she's twisted in a way that the material creases slightly, almost imperceptibly. And the colour isn't pantyhose nude, right? It blends really well with her skin. Really impressively put together. And so flattering too with the diagonal panel on her left that brings in her waist.
But her face while she's looking at little Olive photos with Drew Barrymore is cracking me up. You know that face right? That's the face people get when Jacek starts telling stories about our dogs to people who don't give a sh-t about dogs. Replace dogs with babies and that's where Jen lives.

Son of slain Ocala woman apparently kills self
A man who was about to be questioned in the death of his mother in Ocala apparently killed himself Thursday as members of a Center City Philadelphia police fugitive squad escorted Marion County detectives to his apartment.
John Wagner, 32, the son of Carolyn Wagner of Ocala, was found dead in his apartment at 1819 Pine St. at 1 p.m. Thursday, according to a spokesperson for the Center City Police Department on Friday.
The official said the investigation is ongoing and declined to comment further.
Marion County Sheriff's Office detectives said Friday that they are working with Philadelphia authorities and said both investigations are on-going.
According to a news report published online by the NBC 10 affiliate in Philadelphia, Wagner was a member of the Philadelphia Bar Association. A gun was discovered near the body, and police there said he had killed himself, noted the report.
"Florida police say he was a person of interest in his mother's death," stated the online report.
Carolyn Wagner, 64, was found shot dead inside her upscale Lemonwood II subdivision home at 4802 SW First Ave., Ocala, shortly before 11 a.m. Dec. 30.
Neighbors had noticed that her newspapers hadn't been collected in three days and they saw the garage open, which was unusual. They went inside the home and found Wagner lying on her side in bed, partially covered by a quilt, in a pool of blood.
Early in their investigation, detectives had interviewed nearly 100 people, including Wagner's son and other family members, as well as friends and neighbors, with more interviews planned.
Wagner was last seen alive Dec. 27.
On Wednesday, local detectives released a photo of a black Chevy truck similar to one seen at her home around Dec. 27.
Witnesses described the driver of the truck as a white male of medium build who stood between 5-feet 8-inches and 5-feet 9-inches in height and had short dark hair. Officials believe the owner or driver may have information that could aid their investigation.
Carolyn Wagner's death occurred about 15 months after her husband, Roger, 59, a real estate appraiser, fell to his death while looking over Christine Falls, a popular tourist spot in Mount Rainier National Park near Seattle.
Roger Wagner loved camping and hiking and was trying to photograph the falls when he fell. The accident was witnessed by the couple's son, John.
Anyone with information about Carolyn Wagner's death or the black truck can call Detective Rhonda Stroup at 369-6845 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

Travel and Adventure: Want to know a secret? Canmore, Alberta
Every year thousands of visitors to Alberta, Canada, motor west from Calgary into the Rocky Mountains, heading for the high-profile destinations of Banff and Lake Louise. After traveling for 50 miles along the Trans-Canada Highway into the scenic splendor of the Bow River Valley, they come to the off-ramp for Canmore. They might wonder what the town has to offer but feel they can't stop because they have their sights set on the posh resorts and palatial hotels ahead.
The fact is that there's a world of difference between those two highly publicized destinations and Canmore, even though their setting and access to the awe-inspiring wilderness of the Rockies is totally comparable. The difference is that Canmore is a real community of schools and small privately owned shops where the locals gather at their favorite wine bars and restaurants. You won't find row after row of garishly lit shops selling kitschy souvenirs or one cookie-cutter chain store after another. And if you are seeking a wilderness experience — from backpacking or fly-fishing to dog-sledding and snowshoeing, there really isn't a better jumping-off point than Canmore.
I admit that until recently I was one of those "Banff or bust" tourists. But a few gorgeous winter days — "Blue Bird Days" as the locals call them — in and around Canmore changed all that.
There are two landmarks on Main Street that tell a lot about Canmore's history. One is the old North-West Mounted Police barracks built in the 1890s at the same time the "Stampeders" were heading for the gold fields of the Yukon. The other is the white, two-story clapboard Canmore Hotel, which has been providing rooms in the same location for 124 years.
The day I arrived, Canmore's annual winter carnival was in full swing. Two blocks of Main Street had been blocked off and packed with snow so kids (along with their parents and dogs) could enjoy a little downtown cross-country skiing. Those looking for a more elevated level of activity were up at the Canmore Nordic Center, site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. In keeping with its Olympic heritage, a large screen had been set up just off Main Street so people could watch the most recent games while they warded off the chill with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.
As a kid I read Jack London and watched "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon," so the lure of the Canadian Rockies, the barking of sled dogs and the cry of "On, you huskies" was already engrained in my DNA. Having a chance to actually take a team of sled dogs into the wild (under the guidance of Howling Dog Tours) was a bucket-list event not to be missed.
Amazing as it sounds, a drive of just 30 minutes from Canmore took us deep into the spectacular backcountry of the Spray Lakes and the rising peaks of the Three Sisters range. Arriving to a cacophony of joyously barking sled dogs, I was introduced to my guide/musher and mentor, Jeff Forbes, who took me in hand and introduced me to the team.
"It's kinda loud now," he shouted over the barking, "but once we get them all harnessed up and onto the trail they'll quiet down. They get excited when they know they're about to go."
Eager they were and oh so friendly as we gave each of the five dogs a big pat on the head and harnessed them to the sled. Then it was time to head out. It was a perfect day with subzero temperatures but clear and with a bright sun reflecting off the snow-covered lakes and dappling through the pines.
For the next hour Jeff taught how to brake the sled in order to keep the lines taut, how to give a helping push when we needed to ascend a hill, and how to steer by dragging one foot or the other.
"Come on, Martini," Jeff would call out to our lead dog, and on we went with the dogs straining at the leads, my head filled with fantasies of gold-rush days gone by.
Howling Dog Tours offers a wide variety of dog-sledding experiences, from short outings to a four-hour excursion that includes a fresh-cooked lunch deep in the mountains. That's the one I highly recommend.
Another way to enjoy Canmore is to combine a stay in town with a visit to one of the most beautiful backcountry resorts imaginable, the Mount Engadine Lodge. Built in 1987 to resemble a European-style mountain hostel, it has evolved from a rustic dormitory for skiers, hikers and fishermen into a gracious, elegantly appointed resort that features excellent chef-prepared meals and a delicious tea service in the afternoon. A variety of rooms and suites in the lodge as well as a pair of cabins are available. A spacious deck surrounds the lodge, and from the dining room you get a panoramic view of the meadow below (where moose are common visitors) and the cloud-capped peaks beyond.
Two-night minimum bookings are required, though single nights may be available if you are booking less than two weeks in advance. Rates include a full buffet breakfast, build-it-yourself lunch, afternoon tea with baked goods, and dinner with fresh bread and homemade dessert. During my stay the main courses included a delicious loin of lamb in a red wine reduction sauce and Cornish game hens accompanied by delicious fresh-baked olive bread.
Comfortable as it is, the greatest thing about the Mount Engadine Lodge is the peaceful solitude of its setting and its unlimited access to the wilderness, whether you strap on a pair of cross-country skis or snowshoes in winter, or a daypack and fishing rod in summer.
Another popular way that visitors enjoy Canmore and the vast rugged landscape of the Kananaskis Country park system is by helicopter. For almost 50 years Alpine Helicopter Tours has been taking visitors aloft, soaring over the lakes, valleys, towering peaks and glacier-fed rivers of the region. The views are remarkable. In addition, the company also offers the unique experience of helicopter hiking.
Banff and Lake Louise are magnificent and certainly worth a visit. But next time you think about heading to Alberta, make some time for Canmore. Eh?

[SPOILER ALERT: The following story reveals the winners of The Amazing Race 22. Read at your own risk.]
After trekking to nine countries and logging in more than 30,000 miles, hockey players Bates and Anthony, newlyweds Max and Katie, country singers Caroline and Jennifer, and roller derby moms Mona and Beth face off in the final two legs for the $1 million on The Amazing Race 22.
Get the scoop on 39 must-watch finalesThe final four travel from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Belfast, Northern Ireland, where they must head to Peatlands Park for the Roadblock. It's bog snorkeling: wear full snorkeling gear, cannonball into the bog and swim the muddy track in under four minutes. Anthony breezes through it, followed by Katie and Mona. Jennifer has a tough time, and Caroline has to give her a pep talk before she finally completes it on her third attempt.Next, teams have to go to "The Thing with a Ring," aka the Beacon of Hope, where they find the Detour clue: serve an actual five-course meal from the Titanic to diners at the dock where the ship was built or paint graffiti art at a skate park. The first three teams choose Titanic and the singers choose graffiti, but they get lost finding the skate park. In addition to the table menu at the Titanic, there's a main menu, which Max and Katie notice, and they complete the task first and win their third straight leg in a row. The hockey players are second and the roller derby moms beat out the singers for the last spot in the final after Anthony clues them in to the main menu.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's canceled?The final three jet to Washington, D.C., and make their way through the Lincoln Memorial and 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, where they take doctored photos with the president, before going to Tidal Basin. The clue there is a Switchback Roadblock of the Family Edition spy task. They have to find one of 50 agents to correctly respond to their "password" to get the agent's briefcase with the clue. The codes to unlock the briefcases are their placements in New Zealand, Indonesia and Vietnam. Max and Katie get there first, but Max has trouble finding his agent, and both Bates and Beth finish before him.The next stop is Nationals Park, where one teammate must throw a ball to the other, who's dressed as a baseball, from a zipline. The hockey players complete it, followed by Max and Katie and the moms.

Take roulette, for example. All Slots offers American, European, and French roulette, as well as multiwheel roulette, multiplayer roulette, Premier Roulette, Gold Series online roulette games, and progressive jackpot Roulette Royale. That's a lot of roulette you can play in the casino online. You can also play many variations of online blackjack, video poker, keno, scratch cards, and more.
Or try something completely different. Experiencing a new game that you've never tried before is part of the fun of playing in a casino online. So try your hand at Sic Bo or Bonus Pai Gow Poker or Baccarat. Who knows? You could end up loving it.
The All Slots Live Casino combines the best of all worlds. As an online casino, it gives you the freedom to play from any computer, anywhere in the world, at any time, at your convenience. But like a brick-and-mortar casino, it has real live people who deal the cards or spin the roulette wheel and cheerfully announce your winnings. And these dealers are extremely attractive, which certainly doesn't hurt anything.
The convenience of the online casino combined with the attractiveness of lovely live dealers: you can have it all at All Slots Live Casino.
A progressive jackpot is just what it sounds like: it is a jackpot that progresses — in other words, it gets bigger — every time someone plays the game. Then, when some lucky gambler hits the jackpot, it resets and starts progressing again. For a chance to win big money in the casino, progressive jackpot games are the way to go.
All Slots has all kinds of progressive jackpot games. It has 3-reel and 5-reel online progressive slot machines, it has progressive poker, progressive blackjack, progressive roulette, and progressive video poker. Lots of progressive games, lots of big jackpots, and lots of fun at All Slots.
And how do you win a progressive jackpot? Well, the ways of winning are as varied as the games themselves. You can get five King symbols on the ninth payline on the King Cashalot progressive slot machine. You can get a Royal Flush in Poker Ride. The same number hitting five consecutive times will do it in Roulette Royale, as will a hand of three diamond 7s in Triple Sevens Blackjack. Any way you do it, winning a progressive jackpot at All Slots means winning many thousands — maybe even millions — of real dollars or Euros for an unforgettable online casino payout.
At All Slots Casino, you will never be pressured into betting and risking your money if you don't want to. With just a few exceptions — the progressive jackpot games, the multiplayer games, and the live dealer games — all of the games at All Slots can be played for free and just for fun or can be played for real money. It's your choice. You can start with play for fun and then switch over to play for real after you have had a chance to familiarize yourself with the game and to perfect your strategy, or you can play for fun forever just because it's fun. A land-based brick-and-mortar casino would never let you play the games without gambling, but when you play casino games online at All Slots you are free to play for fun as much as you want to.
Welcome to All Slots! Check out our online slot machines and other online casino games and check out the exciting bonuses and promotions in store for you. Good luck and have fun!

"Tuota tuota is the third full-length album by Kiila. Its songs were born of peaceful, focused work and intense rehearsals with friends, interspersed with sleep and mealtimes. The album features an eight-strong core line-up but, as always, the composition of the group varies effortlessly according to need. At this table, there is room for everyone.
As musical form, songs have always been important to Kiila, and consequently Tuota tuota develops around its songs. On the other hand, the album consists of many details: the sound is full, the web of instruments more varied and carefully orchestrated than before. It is unnecessary to separate the electronic from the non-electronic components. Different traditions of folk and pop music intermingle with electronic music and improvisation, tones and sound itself. This way, the album also poses questions about songs and songwriting.
The motifs in the songs are not easy to render in English, but one can at least attempt to translate some of them: master of the house, elk antlers, tree bark, sound of rapids, fog, letters, calves, fingers. The list, however, doesn't make the songs easier to understand in a foreign language. The words sound archaic, anachronistic or timeless, the language of the myth. But can they be something else, too? And how transparent do we want the myth to be? At the risk of sounding dull, I suggest that the songs do speak to their age, our age, the nature of knowledge and work, the fluctuations of inspiration and threat. Unfortunately, it is mostly only the Finnish-speaking listeners who will be able to assess the validity of this idea.
The name of the album, Tuota tuota, translates roughly as "well, well" and signifies a thinking pause, a moment of contemplation. The language alone is likely to give pause to an English-speaking listener, but I hope the idea will convey itself in more ways than just that. And a pause for thinking is, of course, never a waste of time.
Jump right in!"
