🐎HPC

If you are new to High-Performance Computing clusters, be sure to read the HPC guidelines.

1. Apply for Cedars HPC using Cedars-Sinai Service Center. Open a request ticket in this URL. You will need your Cedars login to open this webpage.

NOTE: remember to add one sentence in the "Additional Information" textbox to specify that you'd like access to BOTH the old 2013 Cisco and the new 2022 HPE clusters.

Read more about these two clusters in HPC guidelines.

1. If you are working using Cedars intranet (i.e. onsite), go to this wiki page for instructions on how to SSH to the HPC server.

2. If you are working remotely, you will need to open another ticket for requesting the Cedars VPN here.

3. Additional guidelines on HPC can be found here in our handbook.

🏎GPUs

GPUs on Cedars-Sinai HPE cluster can be accessed like this:

# For Nvidia V100
salloc -p gpu --gpus=v100:1 --time=1-0 --mem=64g --cpus-per-task 8 --ntasks=1 
# For Nvidia A100
salloc -p gpu --gpus=a100:1 --time=1-0 --mem=64g --cpus-per-task 8 --ntasks=1 
# init bash on your allocated compute node
srun --pty bash -i
