Running the application<\/h2>\n
\r\nstata # IC version (standard, medium data)\r\nstata-sm # SM verison (small data)\r\nstata-se # SE version (single core, big data)\r\nstata-mp # MP version (multicore, big data)\r\n<\/pre>\n
Example — serial batch job:<\/h3>\n
.do<\/code> file, which you wish to run in batch mode, called my_file.do<\/code>. Then write a job submissions script with the following content:<\/p>\n\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n#$ -S \/bin\/bash\r\n#$ -cwd\r\n#$ -V\r\n\r\nstata -b do my_file.do\r\n<\/pre>\n
my_stata.qsub<\/code>, then to submit the job <\/p>\n\r\nqsub my_stata.qsub\r\n<\/pre>\n
Example — parallel batch job:<\/h3>\n
.do<\/code> file, which you wish to run in batch mode on 8 cores, called my_file.do<\/code>. Then write a job submissions script with the following content:<\/p>\n\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n#$ -S \/bin\/bash\r\n#$ -cwd\r\n#$ -V\r\n#$ -pe smp.pe 8\r\n\r\nstata-mp -b do my_file.do\r\n<\/pre>\n
my_stata.qsub<\/code>, then to submit the job <\/p>\n\r\nqsub my_stata.qsub\r\n<\/pre>\n
Installing Modules with ssc<\/h2>\n
ssc<\/code> command in stata. You'll need to configure stata to use the University proxy as follows:<\/p>\n\n
xstata<\/pre>\n
webproxy.its.manchester.ac.uk<\/code><\/li>\n3128<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nssc install<\/code> command in the stata GUI. For example to install the parmest<\/em> package:<\/p>\n\r\n. ssc install parmest\r\n<\/pre>\n
