Currently megatest uses the network filesystem to call home to your master sqlite3 database. Megatest has been used with the Intel Netbatch and lsf (also known as openlava) batch systems and it should be straightforward to use it with other similar systems. include::overview.txt[] include::plan.txt[] include::installation.txt[] include::getting_started.txt[] include::study_plan.txt[] |
