The department has put together a Linux cluster designed to meet the needs of most STATISTICS Department faculty and students. We have created tools which hopefully will make it easy to submit your program. We are willing to work with you personally on your initial job submission to our cluster, to answer questions or problems you may encounter.
The files stored on the cluster are NOT backed up. The disk space is available for running simmulations only. Please keep your results and important code backed up elsewhere. This space is shared by everyone using the cluster, so please test your code on your computer to prevent bugs from filling up the disk space.
You can submit as many jobs as you wish, however only (5) jobs will run at one time and the others will have to wait. The scheduling software places your jobs submission in line with others waiting to run a simulation. As a queue becomes available the next person in line gets to use the next available queue assuming that person is not already running (5) jobs. There are a total of (96) queues currently available in our configuration.
For details on how to use the cluster and submit jobs, please see the Beowulf instructions page.
