This directory contains the python cluster acceptance test system code.

The programs here are designed to be run as a complete suite as well
as individually.  The suite writes to a log file as well as standard out.

To run all tests in sequence, do:
    python test_all.py [<logfile>]
If no logfile is supplied, ./test.log is assumed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ensure that the following environment variables are set to correct values:

PYTHON
contains the python to execute, eg, 'python2.4', etc.

PYTHONPATH
contains a single directory path to the ANUGA code.  Something like
/nas/gemd/georisk_models/inundation/sandpits/rwilson/rwilson/branches/numpy
(only needed by the test_test_all.py module)

EQRMPATH
if set, contains a single directory path to the EQRM code.  If not set,
the EQRM code is not tested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To run these tests on a new cluster:
1. Modify the 'Cluster_Info' structure in test_utils.py to add the new cluster 
   information.
2. Create a new 'machines_<name>' file in this directory that describes the
   cluster compute-node setup.  Note that the 'machines_<name>' file  doesn't
   appear to be used by *anything*.
