GaussView 3.0 is installed on the cluster head node. Since GaussView is a graphical X Window program, users will need an X Window server on their computer to use GaussView. Linux and Mac OS X have this built in, but Windows users will need to buy one (X-Win32, Exceed, etc.) or try to obtain a free one.
To start GaussView, type "gview" on hydra.
Before submitting any calculations from GaussView, you must edit your GaussView preferences to get it to use the queues. If you do not do this, GaussView will just run the job on the cluster head node, which will slow things down for everyone. Your job will also be killed by an automatic script that looks for this type of job.
To edit preferences, click the "File" menu, followed by "Preferences...", and then "Job Setup" in the left column. You should then see a window similar to this:
Click the middle option: "Execute indirectly through script using default command line", and finally click "Ok" to save your settings. You can now submit your jobs directly from GaussView and they will run in the queues.
NOTE: When you submit a job, you will see an error message similar to this:
For hydra, this is normal. It simply means that the submit script sent your job to the queues and then returned without waiting for your job to finish. You should be able to see your job in the queues with "qstat". When your job completes, you can open the log file with GaussView to view the results.
