Slurm scheduling system on ARCHER2
Webinar, Online, 21 October 15:00-16:00 BST
The slurm scheduling system is the access point for user jobs on ARCHER2. In this virtual tutorial, we will briefly introduce Slurm, how it will be configured and used on ARCHER2, the difference with the current scheduler (PBS) on ARCHER, and some of the extra features you might find useful

HPC-Europa3 Transnational Access visitor programme
Call for applications: next closing date 12th November 2020.
HPC-Europa3 funds collaborative research visits for computational scientists in any discipline which can use High Performance Computing (HPC). Visits can be made to research institutes in Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain or the UK. UK-based researchers can benefit in two ways: either by visiting a research group elsewhere in Europe, or by hosting a research visitor from another country.
Coronavirus travel restrictions: Applicants will be informed of the selection panel’s decisions in late December or early January, so visits should be planned for no earlier than February 2021. Restrictions on international travel are changing constantly and it is difficult to predict how this may affect research visits in early 2021. Therefore, visit dates are flexible, and the dates proposed in the form can of course be changed if need be. Nevertheless, all visits must be complete by 31st October 2021, when the funding is currently due to end.
What does HPC-Europa3 provide?
- Funding for travel, living and accommodation expenses for visits of up to 13 weeks.
- Access to world-class High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities.
- Technical support to help you make best use of the HPC systems.
- Collaborative environment with an expert in your field of research.
Who can apply?
- Researchers of all levels, from postgraduate to full professors.
- Researchers from academia or industry. Researchers currently working in a European Union country or Associated State
- (see http://bit.ly/AssociatedStates for full list of Associated States).
- Researchers may not visit a group in the country where they currently work.
- A small number of places may be available for researchers working outside these countries - please contact staff@hpc-europa.org for more information.
How do I apply?
Apply online at http://www.hpc-europa.org
The next closing date is 12th November 2020. Closing dates are held 4 times per year. Applications can be submitted at any time. You should receive a decision approximately 6 weeks after the closing date.
