[ensembl-dev] Newbie: Possible to use Condor instead of LSF with Blast?

[Martin Steele]

Hi All,

I notice from the file ${ENSEMBL_ROOT}/ctrl_scripts/start_server that an LSF installation is expected, i.e.:

# LOAD LSF ENVIRONMENT - REQUIRED FOR BLAST
my $cmd = ". /usr/local/lsf/conf/profile.lsf;" if -e '/usr/local/lsf/conf/profile.lsf';


I would like to use a different batch system if possible, namely Condor, and I notice that there's a company that offers such a service commercially, so it should be possible. However, I can't find any online resource describing how to perform the switch. Does anyone on this list know how to, and would they care to share the information?

Failing that, is Platform Lava (LSF's watered-down free version) a suitable alternative?

TIA,
Bob
