These are C7 specific notes for running SUBDOCK with DOCK 3.8 on Cluster 7. For the full SUBDOCK reference, see SUBDOCK_DOCK3.8.

What SUBDOCK does

SUBDOCK submits many DOCK jobs to a scheduler. On C7, the scheduler is SLURM, so SUBDOCK submits jobs with sbatch.

Main C7 Rule

C7 uses SLURM. Do not use SGE on C7.

Required variables

SUBDOCK needs four main paths:

EXPORT_DEST
INPUT_SOURCE
DOCKFILES
DOCKEXEC
  1. EXPORT_DEST is where results and logs go.
  2. INPUT_SOURCE is the file listing the ligand database files to dock.
  3. DOCKFILES is the directory containing the prepared docking files.
  4. DOCKEXEC is the DOCK executable.

On C7, after `module load dock`, the DOCK executable is usually:

${DOCK_INSTALL_PATH}/dock3/dock64

C7 path warning

Do not write output into the shared DOCK installation. Use a directory in your own workspace instead.

Checking jobs

While jobs are running: squeue -u $USER

For one job:

squeue -j <jobid>

After jobs finish, check the logs in the output directory.
