Determining a Unique Tag for LIGO Condor Jobs











Please use the "Generate Tag" button to generate the appropriate tag for your Condor jobs. This string should be included in your condor submit files before the queue statement, e.g.,

universe = vanilla
executable = /usr/bin/od
arguments = -An -N2 -i
input = /dev/random
output = /dev/null
accounting_group = ligo.prod.o3.burst.snews.raven
queue 1



When submitting your jobs from a shared account (e.g. detchar) you must also specify a value for accounting_group_user to indicate who is running the jobs, e.g.,

accounting_group_user = marie.curie


How to obtain obtain a new tag:
  1. Users propose search with estimated computing needs for O3, O4, and O5.
  2. Users gets approval from the search group chairs.
  3. Users get DAC approval and science prioritization (highest/high/additional).
  4. Users notify the IGWN computing chair, Peter Couvares in that case, who populates the DAC spreadsheet with a tag.
  5. Satya Mohpatra adds the tag after Peter Couvare's approval in step 3.
