Hardware:
IBM X3455 dual Opteron 2220SE, 2.8GHz nodes. 4*10=40 cores
8GB RAM, Infiniband and Gigabit interconnect
Infiniband is not available for MPI programming due to system problems

Software:
Scientific Linux SL release 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
SGE version 6.2, Grid Engine queue system
“man sge_intro” for an overview.
GCC version 4.3 c,c++,fortran and java
module load gcc
PGI version 7.2 & 8.0, 64 bit compilers (C,C++,F77,F95,HPF)
module load pgi
Intel version 10.1 & 11.1, 64 bit compilers (C,C++,Fortran)
module load intel
MPI, OpenMPI libraries, default 1.2.9, 1.3 available
module load pgi openmpi
module load gcc openmpi
mpicc or mpif90 to compile
mpirun to execute.
qsub -pe dmp8 16, to submit a 16 slot mpi job
openMP is available in pgi, intel and gcc

QUEUES and PEs:
os: 160 slots main queue (overbooked)
-pe dmp NN, distributed on nodes, 16 slots per node (4 cores)
-pe smp NN, shared memory, 1 single node for up to 16 threads (4 cores)

User Limits:
The login nodes are intended for short test runs only, max cputime is 30min

INTERACTIVE:
Use qsh to request a interactive job and recive a xterm.
e.g. qsh -l h_rt=01:00:20

**NB qlogin dont work at the moment use qsh**
(Use qlogin to execute an interactive session without starting a xterm. )

NB X-forwarding is working!
(If you have logged in with “ssh -X os.uppmax.uu.se” !!!)

Dont forget to request h_rt
