Both sample batch scripts for some popular software packages and sample batch scripts for general use on TRACE-HPC are available.
For more information on how to run a job on TRACE-HPC, what partitions are available, and how to submit a job, see the Running Jobs section of this user guide.

Sample batch scripts for popular software packages

Sample scripts for some popular software packages are available on TRACE-HPC in the directory /opt/packages/examples.  There is a subdirectory for each package, which includes the script along with input data that is required and typical output.
See the documentation for a particular package for more information on using it and how to test any sample scripts that may be available.

Sample batch scripts for common types of jobs

Sample TRACE-HPC batch scripts for common job types are given below.
Note that in each sample script:

• The bash shell is used, indicated by the first line '!#/bin/bash'.  If you use a different shell some Unix commands will be different.
• For username and groupname you must substitute your username and your appropriate Unix group.
• The partition is either batch or your groupname
