MOAB description

MOAB is a cluster with 64 compute nodes based on Intel Harpertown processor and interconnected with Infiniband network. Has a peak performance of 3.6 TFlops. Nodes have 8 cores, 64 GB memory and 1 TB of local disk storage.

Connecting to the system

  • To access MOAB cluster, a SSH client (Secure Shell) must be used.
  • For security reasons, access to our computing servers is restricted to Israeli university researchers only.
  • Remote access will be set per PRACE application approval.
  • Accessible through SSH protocol at hostname moab.iucc.ac.il. moab.iucc.ac.il is a prep area, where users may edit, compile, perform file management, and submit batch jobs.

Job submission

  • Job submission using python
 * will be updated soon...
  • Job submission using slurm
 * Write a text file (job bash script) containing submission options and the list of commands to be executed (run.sh)
 * Submit the job with the ``sbatch run.sh`` command
 * Check job status with ``squeue -u $USER`` command

Applications

Applications use is configured through the “module” command:

  • Available applications: ``module avail``
  • Brief application user guide: ``module help <application>/<version>``
  • For building applications using EasyBuild:
 * Run ``module load EasyBuild/3.4.1``
 * Follow instructions on [EasyBuild CLI documentation](http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Using_the_EasyBuild_command_line.html)

Storage and directories

  • Each user has a local scratch disk on the node to work with.
