New software installation

Read this first before install new software on HPC cluster.

Please note that now we are collecting the types of user job.  To ensure it works, we need to add the following line at the end of each module files (located at /sw/com/modulefiles):

The service catalogue from QRISCloud is found here:

https://www.qriscloud.org.au/index.php/services

 QRISCloud will need more information of the researcher's computations before approval:

  • The topic / field or research
  • The software (applications, etc) to be run
  • The dimensions of computation: how much memory, how many cores, MPI or not, how many jobs, walltimes, etcetera.

 

If lots of memory is needed, options are the large memory nodes or flashlite.

  • Special compute "big memory" nodes will go to ~900GB (virtualized)
  • Flashlite physical nodes go to 512GB (non-virtualized)
  • Using vSMP, multiple Flashlite nodes can be stitched together to form a "supernode" with up to 8TB.

Computing Cluster: Euramoo

This is similar to gowonda and runs a batching system.
