When you log into Verne, you are placed on the login node. The Login node should be used for basic tasks such as file editing, code compilation, data backup, and job submission.
The login node should not be used to run production jobs. Production work should be performed on the systems compute resources. On Verne, access to compute resources is managed by the Portable Batch System (PBS). Job scheduling is handled by Moab, which interacts with PBS and the system software. The following pages provide information for getting started with the batch facilities of PBS with Moab as well as basic job execution.
Batch Scripts
Batch scripts can be used to run a set of commands on a systems compute partition. The batch scripts page gives example batch scripts, how to submit the batch scripts, and common usage tips.
Queues are used by the batch scheduler to aid in the organization of jobs. The queues page lists the available queues and their benefits.
Parallel Execution
Once access to compute resources has been allocated through the batch system, users have the ability to execute jobs on the allocated resources. The parallel execution page gives examples of job execution and provides common tips.
Job Accounting
Projects are charged based on usage of compute resources. The job accounting page gives details on how we calculate each job’s usage.
Scheduling Policy
The scheduling policy page gives details of the scheduling policies.
