OSC offers online and in-person training for new and advanced users on a variety of high performance supercomputing topics.
OSC has partnered with The Ohio State University to offer online training courses that clients can complete at their own pace at any time on the ScarletCanvas platform, Ohio State's public learning management system.
The available courses are:
Several commands allow you to check job status, monitor execution, collect performance statistics or even delete your job, if necessary.
There are many possible reasons for a long queue wait — read on to learn how to check job status and for more about how job scheduling works.
Use the squeue command to check the status of your jobs, including whether your job is queued or running and information about requested resources. If the job is running, you can view elapsed time and resources used.
Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has a variety of software applications to support all aspects of scientific research. We are actively updating this documentation to ensure it matches the state of the supercomputers.
