UC Davis github:
-
1.Sign up with your @ucdavis.edu email address via the link at Get Started on the page:
https://itcatalog.ucdavis.edu/service/github
-
2.Then, if you do not have GitHub account, make one at github.com, again using your @ucdavis.edu email address.
-
3.With an account, when you login you should be able confirm that you are a member of the ucdavis “organization”.
-
4.You now have services and resources at the github “Pro” and “Enterprise” levels.
Access to CSC computing
o All access is via ssh login. (CSC does not use user/password logins.)
o To generate a ssh key pair please see this link.
Cluster computing
o Clusters are accessed via ssh’ing to demon.csc.ucdavis.edu.
o Where to request cluster access: Account Request Form.
o A graphical interface to monitor cluster load is here.
o There are three SLURM job queues or partitions: (use “sinfo”)
o parallel (on demon.csc)
o bigmem (Two nodes on demon.csc: Each with n CPUs and 1/2 TB RAM each.)
o serial (on hive.csc)
o Hardware consists of two interconnected clusters, hive.csc and demon.csc, that share network attached storage (NAS):
o demon.csc: Commissioned (March 2015)
448 CPUs, 896 threads, 1792 GB
Interconnect: Gigabit ethernet and Infiniband (low latency)
Head & compute nodes (28):
CPUs: 2 x Xeon E5-2630v3 2.4 GHz, 20 MB cache, 8-core, dual thread
