To make better use of the resources available on GPU nodes, the Apocrita and Andrena GPUs now support 12 cores per GPU. Please update your job scripts from 8 cores and 11G per GPU to 12 cores and 7.5G per GPU - this will maintain approximately the same total RAM per job, while increasing the core count.
On May 3, 2024 Queen Mary University of London conducted a workshop to introduce our students to Linux at the Department W building in Whitechapel. Students from a variety of programmes at Queen Mary attended the workshop. Many students who participated are working towards Masters and PhD degrees.
The High Performance Computing (HPC) team organised an event to celebrate February's bonus day this year. The goal was to introduce the HPC team members to the research community at QMUL, and to have the opportunity to ask the HPC expert in-person about any issue related to the performance of HPC jobs in Apocrita.
Here is a quick summary of what we covered in the session:
We held a 2-hour HPC workshop last Friday, December 15th. We arranged an agenda in coordination with the research student at QMUL, Peter Alexander Lock. It covered the generalities of Linux, accessing Apocrita, submitting jobs, and HPC commands.
Since the last module update in December 2022, we have:
On November 15th, our HPC team organised an event called “Let’s talk about Linux and HPC”, which focused on giving an overview of HPC at QMUL. The conference was open to the public and published on Eventbrite.
Approximately 30 people were in attendance between organisers and online or onsite attendees that came to our 2-hour event in the Engineering building at the Mile End campus. During the conference, attendees shared opinions, thoughts and suggestions for future workshops dealing with Linux, Ubuntu and setting up scripts in more detail. They were able to express themselves with the help of mentimeter.
The High Performance Computing (HPC) team is keen to spread Linux and HPC knowledge at Queen Mary University of London. Keeping in mind our vision to support excellence in research, our valuable efforts have been fruitful this year. Our achievements include:
We have deployed the latest version of Environment Modules (5.3.0) across the cluster on all frontend and compute nodes.
The ITSR support team have some changes to R and RStudio on Apocrita in August 2023. Some action will be required by users, so please read the below carefully.
