Unlike PC's, these platforms are not designed for interactive work. Therefore, jobs that need running are submitted to a batch system for processing. The system handles multiple requests and schedules each job based on which batch queue was requested. To see a list of available queues, type qlimits at the prompt.
-
To utilize the batch system, contact the analyst for help at hpc@asc.edu.
-
If you are using an application package, run scripts are available which automatically submit your job for you. These are usually located in /apps/scripts. All you do is run the script and answer the questions.
-
If you are compiling your own code, the analyst has scripts designed to compile, execute and scp your code anywhere you desire.
-
If you feel comfortable using Unix scripts, prepare a simple script that runs your executable and submit it to the appropriate queue with the run_script command as follows
run_script <scriptname>
