To run mcfm on condor

Here are the instructions I sent to Kristina Krylova:

Step 1: copy the following four files in any place you like (for example, you can make a directory named "condor" inside your main MCFM directory): 
/uscms_data/d2/kalanand/condor/
submitAll_condor.csh  
template.condor
runcms_new2.csh     
submitToCondor.py
Step 2: in file "runcms_new2.csh" change the following line to point to your MCFM installation: 
/uscms_data/d2/kalanand/software/MCFM
Step 3: in file "submitAll_condor.csh" change the input (.DAT) file name and output directory name. Add as many lines as the number of jobs you want to run.

Accessing Wisconsin T2 computers

I just activated my Wisc account by logging into the "login.hep.wisc.edu" cluster.

It is a login machine that access the local /hdfs/space that has a lot of room in it. I can also easily start jobs on condor there.

Their website http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/
has a lot of information on how to use it.

There are two options to storing large files at UW. Either the scratch area or the hdfs space.
To move something to the hdfs space one has to follow the following instructions 
ssh yourLogin@login.hep.wisc.edu
voms-proxy-init
gsissh -p 222 cmsgrid02.hep.wisc.edu
cd /hdfs/hep.wisc.edu/store/user/
From there, you can scp any files you wish.
