Archipelago Cluster

UBC archipelago cluster

This is a shared resource that can be used by PLAI group members. It is used by other groups in the department, so respect the cluster management system. This cluster is also running Opensuse.

Quick Start

• You can access headnode through remote.cs.ubc.ca (ssh username@remote.cs.ubca.ca) and then ssh archipelago from there.
• Your stuff is at /ubc/cs/research/plai-scratch/[username] which is mounted here
• On headnode (archipelago), qstat -q to see available queues
• qsub -q [queue] -I to grab an interactive session
• qsub [PBS_script] to submit a job
• qstat to see who else has jobs running at the moment
• available nodes are archipelago01 through archipelago28

Helpful stuff

You should run your stuff through conda environments. However, archipelago does not have internet access, so install everything on submit.cs.ubc.ca or newcastle.cs.ubc.ca. Although the CPUs here are a lot more powerful than submit (plai group CPUs), they only have 16 cores total.
