Running on Main System
Submission and monitoring of all jobs, including those on the main cluster, are undertaken via your clone. Several storage areas from Jupiter are mounted on your clone and are the subject of a separate section. In summary, to run on the main cluster:
-
Evaluate your CPU and disk needs on Jupiter. Send these, with request for main cluster account, via your clone administrator, or to hpc AT nottingham.ac.uk
-
Copy startup scripts and files to be read in during your code execution to your allocated storage area
-
Commands to submit, check, and delete jobs on the main system are similar to those on clone, but with 'm' pre-pended. mqsub scriptname.sh, mqdel, mqstat
It is imperative that you evaluate what size files you expect
to write out/read in during execution as this will have an impact
read/write times to disk and also how much space you will eventually
be consuming on the main disk store.
