Research Computing offers two ways to access Athene, our high performance computing (HPC) cluster. Click here to learn more.
Slurm partitions are groupings of compute nodes with specific limits or policies, such as maximum run time, number of nodes, or job priority. Partitions help manage how resources are allocated on the cluster.
A summary of how Research Computing backs up data for the General Purpose Computing Infrastructure and Health Infrastructure. Researchers should note that the BHRIC resources follow a standard backup schedule but that backups are best effort for the General Purpose Computing Infrastructure. We recommend that users archive their work products to Microsoft One Drive and/or Microsoft Teams.
SSH keys allow for improved access to Research Computing clusters by bypassing the need for 2Factor authentication. Adding your public key to the cluster will allow tools such as ssh, putty and others to more quickly and easily connect.

Open OnDemand helps computational researchers and students efficiently utilize remote computing resources by making them easy to access from any device. It simplifies user interface and experience.
Most Research Computing Cluster resources mount storage to /mnt/beegfs, and users are provided a 300GB quota by default. The cluster will email you daily if you are over quota so make sure to stay under to avoid unexpected emails and warnings about cost overruns.
Scikit-learn is an open source data analysis library, and the gold standard for Machine Learning (ML) in the Python ecosystem. Algorithmic decision-making methods, including:Classification,Regression, and Clustering.
SBATCH Script is a way to submit jobs on Athene. These jobs can be done with SRUN and SBATCH scripts. Click here to read more.

Slurm is an open source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and job scheduling system for large and small Linux clusters. Click here to learn more.
Uploading files to compute resources can be accomplished using command line tools such as SCP or Secure File Transfer tools such as Web Transfer tools such as Globus Online, Windows File Explorer, and OnDemand.
Rclone is an open source command line program to sync files and directories to and from local storage to cloud based storage, such as Google Workspace. Rclone is installed on FAU Research Computing Services and available via module load module load rclone-1.59.1-gcc-9.4.0-k53kthf (this may change on different hardware so use module load avail to search).

Provides instructions for accessing the Koko system via SSH, transferring directories and files using the SCP command, and prompts the user for their research computing password during the transfer process.
Koko is our high performance computing cluster. Sharepoint is a service that can be used to receive the files from Koko. Click here to read more.
Learn how to use Slurm commands like sacct, squeue, and sinfo to monitor your job history, check the job queue, and view available compute nodes on the Athene cluster.
