ARCHER2 for Package Users

Tuesday 28 Mar 2023, 10:00 → 16:00 UTC

This lesson provides an introduction to using ARCHER2 for users who:

• have already used other HPC systems; and
• want to use pre-installed simulation/modelling packages rather than compiling their own.

The lesson aims to answer the following questions:

• What hardware is available on ARCHER2?
• What does it consist of (login nodes, compute nodes, file systems, backup)?
• How does this impact me as a user?
• How can I access ARCHER2 interactively and transfer data?
• What does the ARCHER2 software environment look like and how do I access software?
• How do I write job submission scripts and submit them to the ARCHER2 scheduler?
• How can I be a good ARCHER2 citizen?
• How can I check what resources I am using and look at historical usage?
• What are the next steps for me using ARCHER2 and how can I get more help?
