Hi all,
We've recently started seeing people using the remote desktop server to perform large scale analyses. This is just a reminder that it is not for that sort of work. Performing large scale analysis jobs in this way impacts on other users of the system and has caused us to have to kill jobs.
Large scale analysis jobs *must* be submitted to the cluster. This is fairly straightforward for FSL jobs, MATLAB jobs, python scripts and most other general tools. There are some examples on the YNiC wiki:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/Cluster https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/MRI/FSLCluster https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/IT/ClusterMatlab https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/IT/ClusterScripts
We are going to work on improving the documentation regarding use of the cluster. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding using the cluster for analysis, please contact either myself mark.hymers@ynic.york.ac.uk or Paul Elliott paul.elliott@ynic.york.ac.uk
Thanks,
Mark
