-Sharptail will provide the users (and scheduler) with another 5 TB scratch file system.  During this period it is only provided to the sharptail nodes (n33-n37). In the future it will provide this file system to all nodes except greentail nodes (n1-n32).  +Sharptail will provide the users (and scheduler) with another 5 TB scratch file system.  It is only provided to the sharptail nodes (n33-n37). All other nodes will have /sanscratch provided by greentail.  You can follow the progress of your by looking into /sanscratch/JOBPID directory on either greentail or sharptail.

-With hyperthreading on the 5 nodes, it provides for 160 cores.  We need to reserve 20 cores for the GPUs (one per GPU), and lets reserve another 20 cores for the OS (5 per node).  That still leaves 120 cores for regular jobs like you are used to on greentail.  These 120 cores (24 per node) will show up later as a new queue on greentail/swallowtail; one that is fit for jobs that need much memory. On average 256 gb per node minus 20 gb for 4 GPUs minus 20 gb for OS leaves 5.6 gb ''per core''. +With hyperthreading on the 5 nodes, it provides for 160 cores.  We need to reserve 20 cores for the GPUs (one per GPU, 4 per node), and lets reserve another 20 cores for the OS (4 per node).  That still leaves 120 cores for regular jobs like you are used to on greentail.  These 120 cores (24 per node) will show up later as a new queue on greentail/swallowtail; one that is fit for jobs that need much memory.

 So since there is no scheduler, you need to setup your environment and execute your program.  Here is an example of a program that normally runs on the imw queue.  If your program involves MPI you need to be a bit up to speed on what the lava wrapper actually does for you. So since there is no scheduler, you need to setup your environment and execute your program.  Here is an example of a program that normally runs on the imw queue.  If your program involves MPI you need to be a bit up to speed on what the lava wrapper actually does for you.

 +Note: ran out of time to get an example running but it should follow the LAMMPS approach of above pretty closely.  The binary is in /cm/share/apps/amber/amber12/bin/pmemd.cuda.MPI

 +Here is quick Amber example
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +[hmeij@sharptail nucleosome]$ export AMBER_HOME=/cm/shared/apps/amber/amber12
 +
 +# find a GPU ID with gpu-info then expose that GPU to pmemd
 +[hmeij@sharptail nucleosome]$ export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1
 +
 +# you only need one cpu core
 +[hmeij@sharptail nucleosome]$ mpirun_rsh -ssh -hostfile ~/sharptail/hostfile -np 1 \
