The 'Slurm' Batch Service

This service is handled on a per-request basis, and to request access please use The Hex Sign-Up Form.

If approved, you will be given access to the login node, from which you can deploy jobs to any of the worker nodes, including various configurations of GPU-equipped hardware.

By continuing to use this service you confirm that you understand and agree with the following statements:

• This is a BETA service, and no service or storage guarantees are implied or given, and you should back your work up often.

• This is a SHARED SERVICE so other users may be present on the node at any time, and you should check if the node is in use before attempting to launch large-scale services (via squeue, sinfo minimally, to get other users and workloads present)

• Network traffic and system logs are collected and stored, and you are responsible for any/all data that is loaded onto Hex, but data within your user home directory is secure from other users.

• Admin users (Dr John Vidler and SCC-Systems users) may inspect data held in your home folder, and logs if we suspect anything untoward.
