Practical 2: Using CHPC

Aim: to launch a parallel job on the CHPC cluster Lengau.

Slides

The slides for the OpenMP lecture on Linux will be posted.

Logging in

Download and install putty-ssh and connect to lengau.chpc.ac.za using the username (studentNN) and password provided.

User Guide

Documentation for the CHPC systems starts with the CHPC Quick Start Guide. Read it, but note the differences below which are specific to the studentNN accounts you are using.

Student Accounts

  • Your user name is: studentNN
  • Your project is: Wchpc
  • Your queue is: R522145
  • Your PBS group is: training

Interactive Session

A user can not simply ssh onto a compute node because you don't know which ones are not in use by a currently running job. But the PBSPro scheduler does know. So we ask the scheduler for an interactive job which gives us a login shell on a compute node:

qsub -I -P Wchpc -q R522145 -W group_list=training
