Getting Started: Understanding HPC New to HPC? The HPC Introduction Page explains the "why" and "how" of high performance computing. Also see the Policies Page better understand the rules and etiquette of cluster usage. Getting Started: Your First Batch Job Getting an Account The computer systems managed by HPRC are available for use to university faculty, staff, and students who require large-scale computing capabilities. Visit the Allocation Policy page for more information or the Account Application page to apply or renew an account. All accounts expire and must be renewed in September of each year. Quick Start Guides The Ada and Terra Quick Start Guides are available to help new users learn to submit new jobs in a single session. Ada Quick Start Guide Terra Quick Start Guide Customizing your Batch Jobs Many experienced users have the need to customize their batch job scripts to better suit their workflow. Ada Batch Pages provide information on LSF job scripts. Complete Ada Batch Page Job Submission (bsub) Ada Queue Structure Terra Batch Pages provide information on SLURM job scripts. Complete Terra Batch Page Job Submission (sbatch) Terra Queue Structure Finally, the Batch Translation Page provides a reference for translating between PBS (Eos), LSF (Ada), and SLURM (Terra). Problems and Solutions While we cannot predict all bugs and errors, some issues are extremely common on our clusters. See the Common Problems and Quick Solutions Page for a small collection of the most prevalent issues.

Newest Resource: Terra Our newest cluster, Terra, supplements Ada in providing for the general-compute needs of our users. Terra features 304 compute nodes each with 28 cores. 64GB and 128GB variants of the compute nodes are available, along with a dual-GPU K80 card on some nodes. Slurm is used exclusively to manage the Terra batch system. The Batch Translation Guide is available for converting between Slurm, PBS, and LSF. More information on Terra, the hardware configuration, and the Slurm batch system can be found within the Terra User Guide. Upcoming Event: Research Computing Week Texas A&M Research Computing Week Dates: June 5th - 9th , 2017 Location: Texas A&M University Campus Description: Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing is hosting a week-long series of events June 5-9, 2017 to introduce the A&M research community to computing and data resources and expertise available to support research, and, for advanced users, to provide additional training. The week will start with morning and afternoon workshops on a variety of topics on using local and national research computing resources, and will end with a Symposium on Thursday and Friday presenting talks and posters about best practices in computing and data intensive research, and national perspectives on building cyberinfrastructure capacity in the U.S. A Reception and Poster Session are planned for late Thursday afternoon. This event is open to anyone interested. Conference web site: http://u.tamu.edu/HPRCWeek
