Here is a short list of things you may need to do first when you get onto the cluster
1 Basics
- log in to the cluster: JUSTUS2/Login
- get accustomed with the linux commandline:
- introduction on the (external) hpc wiki or
- linux course at training.bwhpc.de
2 Running an Example with Preinstalled Software
- scientific software: read on how to load Software Modules
- continue reading until you found that there are example job scripts: Environment_Modules#Software_job_examples
- submit a sample job from a software as mentioned in the job example. Also see: JUSTUS2/Slurm
- monitor your job: JUSTUS2/Slurm#Monitoring_Your_Jobs
3 Running Your Own Calculations
- transfer your own data to the cluster: Data Transfer
- adapt the sample job script to run your own job
Note that your jobs should not write/read much on the lustre filesystem while the job runs, but either use the ram disk in /tmp or request /scratch if the space of the ram disk isn't sufficient. The Slurm Howto shows how to copy and clean up your data from /tmp or /scratch at the end of the job
