| 107 | == Example on how to implement a plugin |
| 108 | |
| 109 | The LSF cluster at SLAC is very similar to default implementation supported by MG5aMC native cluster's module. However there a couple differences, for instance: |
| 110 | |
| 111 | 1. After being submitted jobs at SLAC typically takes about 5 - 10 seconds to even register and show up on the 'bjobs' list, MG5aMC must wait for this registration otherwise missing job entries in 'bjobs' are problematic. |
| 112 | 2. Wall time specification is mandatory. |
| 113 | 3. Quite often, jobs at SLAC can be superseeded, in which case they are listed as 'SSUSP'. This status code is unknown to MG5aMC by default. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | This cluster plugin example addresses these issues: [https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/madgraph/attachment/wiki/Plugin/SLAC_cluster.tar.gz plugin for LSF at SLAC] |
