 +
 +===== EURORA login =====
 +
 +  * In order to become a CINECA user you have to register yourself on the CINECA UserDB ( https://userdb.hpc.cineca.it/user ). The procedure will create a new **username** associated to your identity (Skip this step if you already have a Cineca username). 
 +
 +  * When you receive username and password you can send an e-mail to  superc@cineca.it, requesting to be enabled to the AURORA system in the framework of the INFN-CINECA agreement. CINECA will associate your username to the  **CON13_INFN** account (every account has a budget and a set of usernames associated with it).  http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/accounting-0
 +
 +   * At the end of the previous step you can access the Eurora front-end  **login.eurora.cineca.it** via ssh or other standard tools  [[http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/access-systems-0 | Access to the systems]]
 +
 +The command to view the usage summary of the accounts associated with your username is the following:

 +==== Batch scheduler ====
 +
 +THe job management facility adopted by CINECA is PBS:
 +[[http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/batch-scheduler-pbs-0 | Batch Scheduler PBS  ]]
 +
 +Available Queues: 
 +  * debug (max 2 nodes, 1/2 hour)
 +  * parallel (max 44 nodes, 6 hours)
 +  * longpar (max 22 nodes, 24 hours)
 +
 +Script example (script.pbs)
 +<code>
 +  #PBS -q debug
 +  #PBS -l select=2:ncpus=16:mem=15GB:cpuspeed=3GHz
 +  #PBS -A INFN_EURORA
 +  ...
 +</code>
 +
 +Submit your job 
 +   qsub script.pbs
 +Monitor your job
 +   qstat [-u username]
 +Cancel your job
 +   qdel JOB.id
 +
 +
 +Interactive example (option -I):
 +
 +  qsub -q debug -l nodes=node021:ncpus=1    -A CON13_INFN -I
 +  > cat $PBS_NODEFILE
 +  > exit
 +
 +Asking more memory to allow demanding  compilations
 +  qsub -q debug -l nodes=node021:ncpus=16:mem=15gb  -A CON13_INFN -I

 +  
 +==== Storage ====
 +

 +
 +  $HOME  (/eurora/home/userexternal/<username>) (permanent/ backuped)   
 +  $CINECA_SCRATCH  (/gpfs/scratch/userexternal/<username>) (temporary)
 +  
 +Use the local command "cindata" to query for disk usage and quota ("cindata -h" for help):
 +
 +  cindata
 +
 +==== Software Environment ====
 +
 +  * OS: RedHat CentOS release 6.3, 64 bit
 +  * Compilers, scientific libraries and tools are installed using the **software modules** mechanism.
 +
 + http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/eurora-user-guide#programming
 +
 +NOTE: The MIC system libraries are ditributed through the following shared directories: 
 +
 +  * /cineca/prod/compilers/intel/cs-xe-2013/binary/lib/mic
 +  * /cineca/prod/compilers/intel/cs-xe-2013/binary/mkl/lib/mic

 +
 +== Network fabrics ==
 +
 +http://www.prace-ri.eu/Best-Practice-Guide-Intel-Xeon-Phi-HTML?lang=en#id-1.7.3
 +
 +Network fabrics available for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor: ** shm, tcp, ofa, dapl**
 +
 + The Intel MPI library tries to automatically use the best available network fabric detected (usually shm for intra-node communication and InfiniBand (dapl, ofa) for inter-node communication).
 +
 +The default can be changed by setting the I_MPI_FABRICS environment variable to I_MPI_FABRICS=<fabric> or I_MPI_FABRICS=<intra-node fabric>:<inter-nodes fabric>.
 +
 +The availability is checked in the following order: shm:dapl, shm:ofa, shm:tcp.
