Jobs

Please do not run jobs on the login node

Running jobs directly on the login node can have an adverse affect on other users of the cluster.

All jobs must run on the compute nodes.

Access to compute nodes is only available via the queuing system. 

Jobs should be submitted either by requesting an interactive session, or by writing a script to run it in a batch mode.  A script is a file that contains all the commands to run the job.  When you submit the job, it is then placed in a queueing system which will allocate the job when the requested resources become available.

Please select the relevant option on the left hand menu for more details about the different types of jobs.
