 This document present in general what are computing clusters and what is High Performance Computing (HPC). It can be read out of curiosity, if you want to know what are those infrastructures for or if you are a potential future user with limited technical background. For more practical information on using unige HPC infrastructure, refer to the rest of the documentation. This document present in general what are computing clusters and what is High Performance Computing (HPC).

-With this file, we are telling the queuing system "I want you to run my multiply program on one processor of one of the computing node, for a maximum of one minute". Of course, when working with more complex program, you will increase those values (number of computing resources and computing time) according to your needs. You could replace the input data by a large data file or a set of files and the program with any complex simulation tool, the principle will be the same.+With this file, we are telling the queuing system "I want you to run my multiply program on one processor of one of the computing node, for a maximum time of one minute".

 So let's do the job. Send those files to the cluster, submit the job to the queuing system and gather results once done. So let's do the job. Send those files to the cluster, submit the job to the queuing system and gather results once done.
