Job managenment

The job scheduler on the Dec system is not yet available. Slurm is under evaluation and will be available soon.

In the meantime, you can run your jobs on the computing nodes (ie any node except the login node mardec).

To run background jobs, you can use the nohup command to run a command in the background. For example, to run a Python script in the background, you can use the following command:

nohup python my_script.py &

tmux and screen are also available on the Dec system. These tools allow you to run multiple terminal sessions within a single terminal window. You can use them to run long-running jobs that you want to keep running even if you disconnect from the system.

I eard about people are even running background jobs with the command at... But this is probably a legend from times long gone .

In any case, please be considerate of other users and respect the DEC code of conduct.
