Now all the blocks on BlueGene are dynamic blocks. If you want to run jobs one after the other, you should use the following tricks.

Suppose you want to run 3 minimization steps which are dependent. For step 2 and 3, dependency command should be used. See the example.

1. common
2. @ job_type = bluegene
3. @ job_name = min
4. @ class = normaldyn
5. @ initialdir = /gpfs/home2/yulinh/RCR/projects_BG/inactive_ERBB_lapatinib/inactive_HER2_temp1XKK_lapatinib/N003_mdwat_namd_run2
6. @ wall_clock_limit = 00:20:00
8. step 1
9. @ step_name = $(job_name)_01
10. @ executable = mpirun32
11. @ bg_size = 512
12. @ arguments = -mode VN -np 1024 -exe path/namd2 -cwd "path" -args "01mi.in"
13. @ input = /dev/null
14. @ output = mi.$(step_name).out
15. @ error = mi.err.$(step_name)
16. @ notification = complete
17. @ queue
19. step 2
20. @ step_name = $(job_name)_02
21. @ dependency = ($(job_name)_01 == 0)
22. @ bg_size = 512
23. @ arguments = -mode VN -np 1024 -exe path/namd2 -cwd "path" -args "02mi.in"
24. @ input = /dev/null
25. @ output = mi.$(step_name).out
26. @ error = mi.err.$(step_name)
27. @ notification = complete
28. @ queue
30. step 3
31. @ step_name = $(job_name)_03
32. @ dependency = ($(job_name)_02 == 0)
33. @ bg_size = 512
34. @ arguments = -mode VN -np 1024 -exe path/namd2 -cwd "path" -args "03mi.in"
35. @ input = /dev/null
36. @ output = mi.$(step_name).out
37. @ error = mi.err.$(step_name)
38. @ notification = complete
39. @ queue
