Improved Process of Running Tasks in the High Performance Computing System

Abstract

This paper is motivated by the need of bringing high performance computing closer to the researchers, young scientists and students. Every researcher or student who needs to run tasks on High Performance Computing Cluster has to write startup script for the task itself. This script contains many parameters which are needed for the system to run given task. We created software application which generates startup script and cooperates with existing complex online system used for registering users, monitoring of resources and tasks on cluster. This application is able to help researchers or students to create startup script. Script created in our application can be used as standard PBS startup script in the High Performance Computing Centre in Banská Bystrica. We incorporated this application to already existing online system used with HPCC and tested it on the model problem of coloring permutations of cubic graph.
