A brief introduction to the usage of the HPC facilities, targeted at new and unexperienced HPC users is given below.
The introduction is based on various minimal examples that illustrate how to compile serial and
parallel programs as well as how to submit and monitor actual jobs using SGE.
A simple serial program
write/compile simple non-parallel program
where and how to compile
how to include libraries
submit/monitor jobs
specifying resources
single jobs
job arrays
basic error-tracking
A simple parallel program
compile simple parallel program
example using openMpi
example using intel mph
submit/monitor jobs
specify resources
basic error-tracking
Misc
Importance of specifying reasonable resources
how to use local storage for I/O intense serial jobs (or parallel jobs that run on a single host)
