Where to find us

Remember that the command-line-client and its web-interface replace the "old" email-submission to the Spinglass Server.

You have a lot of advantages if you use our new Command Line Client to submit jobs to the Spinglass Server.

Here comes a little (3x3) example.

The following represents the definition of a spinglass instance. In contrast to the old Spinglass Server, the new one can handle up to n jobs at a time, and answers with only one email.

E.g. submit a file with following content using the
type: gauss 
size: 3
name: 3x3 system as a test for this nice service

You will get the answer: 
The Spin Glass Server (SGS) completed your Metajob:

		      Name: test-new.txt
		      Output Type: long
		      Containing Jobs: 1
		      internal Metajob ID: 13675
		      Date: Mon Oct  1 12:47:43 2007

result:

--------------------------JOB: 13674 ----------------------------------

Name: 3x3 system as a test for this nice service
Problemtype: gauss
Size: 3

on: Computer: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz

result:

		      Energy (per spin): -0.98580397885
		      Magnetization (per spin):0.111111111111
		      CPU-Time (min:sec.1/100): 0:00.00

Here comes an optimal spin configuration:

		      total number of spins: 9
		      spins up: 4

CONFIGURATION_BEGIN
 2 4 5 8 
CONFIGURATION_END

This means:

  • We computed the ground state on a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz.
  • The computation finished Mon Oct 1 12:47:43 2007.
  • It took us < 0.01 seconds cpu time to compute an exact ground state.
  • The energy per spin is -0.98580397885. 
  • The magnetization is 0.111111111111.
  • This configuration is mentioned explicitly between 'CONFIGURATION_START' and 'CONFIGURATION_END'. The spins 2, 4, 5, and 8 are all oriented "up", the others (1, 3, 6, 7, and 9) "down". (The magnetization per spin is: (5-4)/9 = 0.111111111111).

The command-line-client has also the option "-t short". When chosen, we only report a short output that does not specify the used hardware.
