HPC Clusters
HPC@USU offers two main clusters UINTA and WASATCH. (UINTA is the default cluster)
To access UINTA (the default cluster), run the batch script like this: (Note: A must be uppercase)
[A#@login-XX ~]$ qsub mybatch
To access WASATCH, run the batch script like this: (Must specify WASATCH)
[A#@login-XX ~]$ qsub -q wasatch mybatch
The -q option requires a valid queue name, either UINTA or WASATCH. If you do not list the queue, the request will default to UINTA.
Note: for UINTA ppn=4, for WASATCH ppn=8 and nodes=X. X will be determined by the total number of processors desired divided by the processors per node. For example, to use 16 processors on UINTA, nodes=4 ppn=4. For WASATCH, nodes=2 ppn=8.
