Slurm is a common workload manager so you can also refer to the official [Slurm documentation](https://slurm.schedmd.com/overview.html).

## Compute nodes

The Engaging Cluster has several CPU-only compute nodes and GPU compute nodes. The nodes are categorized according to partitions to control which groups have access to the nodes.

See [Determining resources for your job](https://engaging-web.mit.edu/eofe-wiki/slurm/resources/) for details on selecting the nodes and resources for your jobs. Briefly, the `sinfo` command shows the partitions where you can submit jobs and you can submit jobs to a certain partition by including `#SBATCH --partition=<partition_name>` in your sbatch script.

The GPU nodes are available through the `ou_bcs_high` and `ou_bcs_low` partitions. For more details, see the [BCS computing resources on Engaging - Slurm configuration](https://github.mit.edu/MGHPCC/OpenMind/wiki/User-guide-for-BCS-computing-resources-on-Engaging#slurm-configuration) wiki.

## Data storage

Data can be stored under the following path: `/orcd/data/linc/`. We will be working to create an organization strategy for the LINC project data but for now please store your data under a subdirectory (e.g. `/orcd/data/linc/<username>` or `/orcd/data/linc/<projectname>`). There are additional locations to store your data including the use of scratch space (`/orcd/scratch/bcs/001`, `/orcd/scratch/bcs/002`, `/pool001/<username>`) which can be found under the [Storage](https://engaging-web.mit.edu/eofe-wiki/storage/) page and the [BCS computing resources on Engaging](https://github.mit.edu/MGHPCC/OpenMind/wiki/User-guide-for-BCS-computing-resources-on-Engaging) wiki.
