Before you start

Some familiarity with Department of Computing systems is desirable before using the GPU cluster:

• logging in to DoC Lab PCs, especially Nvidia GPU-equipped PCs (Doc Lab PCs)
• remotely connecting to lab PCs and Doc Shell servers from a Linux/Mac/Windows Terminal (Shell server guide)
• composing bash scripts (examples are provided below - it is beyond the scope of this guide to explain shell scripting)
• python environments (Python environments guide)
• Linux command line interface (Terminal, CLI)

Tip: make sure you have tested your python scripts on your own device or a Doc Lab PC with GPU before using the GPU cluster. Prior testing will help flag errors with your scripts before using sbatch
