Getting Started with the HPC
Refer to the links below for an introduction to the HPC.
How Do I Get Access to the HPC?

How Do I Run My Jobs on the HPC?
See the documents below for basic examples of several types of jobs on the HPC system.
- HPC Sample Job: Caffe
- HPC Sample Job: COMSOL
- HPC Sample Job: LAMMPS
- HPC Sample Job: Gaussian
- HPC Sample Job: Gromacs
- HPC Sample Job: MPI Program
- HPC Sample Job: NAMD
- HPC Sample Job: Towhee
How Many Jobs Can I Run? Why Are Some of My Jobs Stuck in the Queue, Even When Resources Are Available?
If your jobs are short (less than 1 CPU-day per job), you can run as many as we have free CPU cores.
If you've already reserved a lot of CPU time (around 1000 CPU-days), we may delay running some of your later jobs to ensure resources are available to others.
Full scheduler policy details and examples are in the HPC Job Scheduling document.
