SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Bridges-2 users need a single, authoritative reference for SSH login, SLURM job submission, partition details, filesystems, and data-transfer workflows to reduce setup time and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized guidance for connecting to bridges2.psc.edu, submitting jobs (sbatch, srun, interact), and managing workspaces with the .psc-config workflow.
  • Includes templates and best practices for data transfers, port-forwarding with rerun, and container usage (Docker→Singularity bridge) to accelerate research pipelines.
  • Real-world scenarios include interactive sessions on RM/GPU, parallel allocation racing, and AirLab workflows.

Quick Start

SSH to bridges2.psc.edu, review the partitions and job-scripts references, and run a basic sbatch example from the templates.
