Presentation
A computer cluster is a set of loosely or tightly connected computers that work together so that, in many respects, they can be viewed as a single system. Unlike grid computers, computer clusters have each node set to perform the same task, controlled and scheduled by software.
Access
An account allows you to have an access to the cluster farm via the migale server. You need to log in and use dedicated commands to run your jobs to the cluster.
Sending jobs
You can send jobs to the cluster using the SGE job scheduler.Learn here the basics of SGE with some typical examples.
Nodes
Migale users can access to tens of nodes, representing hundreds of cores.
The node frangen belonging to the queue highmem.q (queue with big RAM memory) is only available to authorized users. You can ask an access here
Queues
The nodes are organized as queues. Each queue has particularities in terms of RAM memory, job duration and access restrictions.
The queue maiage.q is dedicated to MaIAGE unit users.
