Maple software contains a suite of mathematical functions that can perform both numerical and symbolic manipulations. At CTC it can only be run on a compute machine in the batch system or in the collaboratory.
General Notes for Running Maple at CTC
- Maple on the batch machines must be run in command line mode. The user must create a Maple script file which lists the commands that need to be carried out.
- Before running Maple, users must execute the setup file by issuing the command
call setup_maple.bat
This sets the appropriate path, registry settings, and other environment variables.
Sample Batch Command File
- Here is a sample batch file that you can copy and modify. You may also view an in-depth explanation of the sample batch file.
- In addition to modifying the CCS keywords in the sample batch file, users will need to set some variables.
