# Grid Engine

This section describes how to set up run configuration using Grid Engine as a target system configuration

When running an Grid Engine program from PTP, first create a C/C++/Fortran project, and build it. For more information, see

- Introduction to creating MPI projects which includes information on building
- Setting up an MPI project with PTP's PLDT
- Synchronized Projects - creating and building projects on remote machines

As described in Running Parallel Programs, next create a run configuration via Run > Run Configurations ... and create a new Parallel Application.

The specifics for running an Grid Engine program with PTP are specified on the Resources tab of the run configuration. For Target System Configuration, select Grid Engine-Generic-Batch

Then specify a connection. If you have already specified a connection, e.g. for a Synchronized Project or a remote project, it will be selected already. If you are launching a local application (on the same machine where Eclipse is running), select Local for the Connection Type.

> See Creating Remote Connections and Local Connections

> Note: To edit connection information after a connection has been created, e.g. to change user name or password, see the Remote Services section on Editing Remote Connections.

Fill in the Grid Engine options, as appropriate for your system, in the Grid Engine Settings tab.

Now continue with the run configuration setup for running your parallel application by specifying the Application program on the Application tab, and any other information required.
