Re: [HTCondor-users] Running over parameter space

[Ben Cotton <ben.cotton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's say you wanted to test each two-argument combination. A sample
submit file might look like:

###
universe = vanilla
executable = myscript.py

arguments = a1 a2
queue

arguments = a1 a3
queue

arguments = a2 a3
queue
###

Of course, this doesn't scale well. But in 8.4, you can get fancier. I
believe it would look something like this:

###
universe = vanilla
executable = myscript.py

queue 1 in arguments from job_args.txt
###

Where your job_args.txt file looks like:
###
arguments = a1 a2
arguments = a1 a3
arguments = a2 a3
###

I haven't tried the new queue syntax yet, so I might be a little bit
off, but that's the general idea. You can see more information at
