Mathematica
Overview
Mathematica is a computational software program used in scientific, engineering, and mathematical fields and other areas of technical computing. It was conceived by Stephen Wolfram and is developed by Wolfram Research of Champaign, Illinois.
Restrictions on use/License information
Mathematica is commercial software, and usage is restricted to staff and students of the University of Manchester for the purposes of research and teaching. It may not be used for any purpose that leads to direct or indirect commercial exploitation of the software.
There is no restriction on the number of simultaneously running programs on HTCondor.
Versions installed
| Mathematica version | HTCondor ClassAd |

Set up procedure on submit node
Mathematica can be enabled using the command:
module load mathematica/<Mathematica version>
and then run using the command math or mathematica.
Running the application
Unfortunately it is not possible to run Mathematica notebook .nb files directly on Condor. You need to create a Mathematica (Wolfram Language) script file, typically these files have the extension .wls. The following lines are the contents of a simple generic HTCondor submit text file for submitting an Mathematica script file to HTCondor:
Universe = vanilla Requirements = (Target.Opsys == "LINUX" && Target.Arch == "X86_64" && <HTCondor ClassAd>=?=True) Request_Memory = 1000 Log = math.log Output = math.out Error = math.error Notification = Error Should_Transfer_Files = Yes When_To_Transfer_Output = ON_EXIT Executable = /opt/mathematica-<Mathematica version>/Executables/math Transfer_Executable = False Input = <script>.wls Arguments = <input arguments> Transfer_Input_Files = <script>.wls Queue
If your submit file is called submit.txt then your job can be submitted to HTCondor using the command condor_submit submit.txt.
