Magma is accessed by first loading the module

module load chpc/math/magma/2.26

and then simply executing the command

magma

However, Magma is licensed software and only licensed to run on the large memory nodes (usually called the “fat nodes).

You will thus need to request a fat node using qsub for an interactive session of by submitting a job script.

To request a login shell on a fat node use

qsub -I -P PROJECTID -q bigmem -l ncpus=4 -W group_list=bigmemq

where you must replace PROJECTID by your project name.

If you receive the error message:

qsub: Bad GID for job execution

then you do not currently have access to the bigmem queue and must ask your PI to request that access through our Helpdesk.
