Module Overview
The HPC cluster provides extensive
computational capabilities to researchers within the school.
Users submit jobs to a central queueing system which are then
executed on compute nodes according to availability of
appropriate resources and relative job priorities. This module
provides an introduction to using the cluster, including a
background on HPC basics, how to submit and manage jobs, and
how to make sure you do not adversely impact other users of
the cluster.
