Modules on HiPerGator

The tutorial available on UFRC website does a pretty good job explaining how to load a software for running jobs on the cluster.
Click here for Module Tutorial by UFRC After you have loaded the list of modules you want to load, you can save the modules to a default list by,

module save

This will show the following message: Saved current collection of modules to: "default"

If you quit and login to the HiPerGator again, typing the following should restore your modules loaded from last session:

module restore

Personal Modules

If you want to create a personalized list of modules you can follow this tutorial here. Don’t forget to add the module list name to .bashrc file for this to work. The .bashrc file is located in your home directory. Be careful with this file, it is a super useful file and can make your life easier as we can create multiple aliases. (Note to self: Make a post about ALIASES)

Allocating resources on dev

Hipergator allows the users to allocate resources for running simple applications on the cluster. Please see the criteria for short testing jobs allowed on Hipergator here. Remember that the developmental version is only for testing purposes, so do not submit any job that takes a long time to run. I personally do not enjoy using it for longer runs, but simple applications which do not take too much time can be run on dev version by allocating resources and time as follows:

Using HiPerGator without Dual Factor Authentication every time

Hipergator recently updated to a dual factor authentication for logging in, which means for people who use it daily and and need to login multiple sessions, it can get annoying pretty fast. The workaround is to use ssh multiplexing which can allow you to use an existing TCP connection for multiple sessions. More on multiplexing here. In other words, given that you log in and authenticate once, and as long as the initial terminal remains open, you can log into multiple sessions without authentication. Although I would advise against it, but you can increase the time from 8hrs.
