Background
Running jobs is the main and the only way to run computations on ARC.
Normally, a user creates a job script and submit it to SLURM on ARC using the sbatch command to run a computation.
The login node, ARC's gateway, is only intended to do management work, such as
- data management,
- software management, and
- job management.
The login node could also be used to software development, if you write scripts, or if you work on some new code for your research. The login node, however, cannot be used to run anything that is CPU heavy and relates to research, that is not management. (See of [guidelines and policies]).
