In a windowed environment it is possible to drag a file from the
File Browser onto the icon (desktop shortcut) representing Compute
Console. This will immediately start a simple solver run; no command arguments can
be added to such a run; therefore, it is not possible to start an SPMD run this way.
The only two arguments appended to the command line in drag and drop run are:
-screen
- This run is always executed with Solver View window (no log window
exists in such case).
-nt N
- It is possible to start the SMP run – only if this option is enabled for
drag and drop runs through the Preferences form.
Note: Jobs submitted this way are never queued or stored in the history list.
This method of interaction is completely independent from Compute
Console.
The Desktop icon or Quick Launch icon can be created on Windows by copying any Solver
command from the Framework menu as a shortcut. It is also possible to create such a
launcher on
Linux - consult your system documentation
for details. The actual command field on such a launcher should contain the
following
text.
<install_dir>/scripts/hw_wish <install_dir>/acc/scripts/hwsolver.tcl -icon
Where, <install_dir> is the top directory path to the
Altair HyperWorks installation.
