Question:
What are the rules and policies for running applications on HUGI
Answer:
Rules:
- Users are requested to login and start their jobs in the cluster
of their group.
- Remote logins to the student workstations are not permitted.
- Users that submit jobs with a large number of sequential
processes are requested to use either the -q or the -S queuing
options of mosrun.
- Users are requested to use the -m parameter of mosrun, predicting
the amount of memory they will require.
Policies:
- All the workstations are rebooted every night.
- Before rebooting a workstation, all guest processes are moved out.
Those processes can move to other nodes in the grid - if no other
nodes are available, they are frozen in the home node.
- Processes will automatically migrate to the best available (grid-wide)
nodes (subject to the priority of their home cluster).
- Students have the highest priority over their workstations. Whenever a
student logs in, all guest processes are moved out from that workstation.
