Using Picotte as a student

If you're a student in a class using Picotte, your account will be automatically created before the class starts (or at least before you need Picotte). You'll get receive an automated email with your login details and links to documentation.

You should read Introduction to using Picotte and the SLURM Introduction to get a basic understanding of how Picotte works.

Partitions and accounts

When you submit a job, you need to specify the partition and account you want to use.

The account is generally the name of your class followed by prj. For example, if your class "PHYS 435", your account would be phys435prj. Set this in your jobs by passing the --account=phys435prj argument to sbatch or srun.

Picotte accounts for classes only have access to two partitions: edu and gpu-edu. Most of the time, you should use the edu partition by passing the --partition=edu argument to sbatch or srun.

For GPU jobs, use the gpu-edu partition by passing --partition=gpu-edu.
