What is the CRUG Cluster?

One of the goals of Carleton’s Computational Research Users Group is to create a shared, powerful, and expandable computation cluster that is usable by as many of our users as possible and funded by grants and faculty startup funds. Our users include faculty and students from all departments, and their needs are diverse. 

...

The system is designed to take advantage of the Slurm workload manager.  We expect that the majority of the jobs will take advantage of multiple cores through some type of parallel processing.  95% of our needs seem to be embarrassingly parallel.  Users “ssh” into command.dmz.carleton.edu and submit Slurm jobs through the linux command line.  An example of using Slurm can found at https://wiki.carleton.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57837534.  Some useful Slurm commands can be found at https://wiki.carleton.edu/display/carl/Useful+Slurm+commands.

If you want a CRUG account or are new to this, please contact Mike Tie for help.

What if my program needs more cores, memory, disk space, or gpus than the cluster currently has?
