Kimik is a cluster (currently) containing 94 nodes.

It is of general use of the Institute (computational groups and some experimentalists too).

The disk is shared with Kimik2

Queues/jobs:

Each user has a quota of slots for jobs. The cluster is divided into three queues as follows...

nanYar.short

         Two single processor machines (nodes 001 and 002).
         Allows all job types, but has a 1 hour time limit.

nanYar

         Older single processor machines from nodes 003 to 045. 
         Works with all job types.
         Currently disabled due to problems vs. the SIRIUS server.

nanYar.l

         Single processor machines from nodes 046 to 094.
         Works with all jobs types.

Quota/file server space

The $HOME of each user has a quota of 23 GB.

There is softquota, that will announce by a message that you are close to exceed the quota limit.

After reaching the maximum, the user will not be able to write in the $HOME until deleting/compressing some files. That also affects the calculations, if there is not enough space to write the output, they will unfortunately die.

Kimik "How to ..."[edit]

How to connect to kimik

From a linux PC:

    ssh -X kimik.iciq.es

from outside ICIQ look at Connecting from Outside

How to submit calculations

     Use the qs command.
     If you type the command “qs” you get a help menu that shows you how to use the 
     command and some specific tips for submission of gaussian jobs.
 
     qs numproc queue typejob nameinput.in
   
     With qs you specify the number of nodes you want, which one of the four available queues to access 
     (short queue (s),long-queue (l)), which program to use (adf, 
     gaussian, etc.), and then the input file name (usually with the *.in extension)

How to view the status of your jobs

     Use the command qstat to give a list of jobs running on the system.
     For more information on the jobs, use the -f key.
     For information on a specific user, use the key -u username.

How to kill jobs

     Use the command qdel and the job identifier.

How to check the quota

You can check the disk space you are using by looking at how to check the disk space used

How to print from kimik

     You can run the next command from command line:
              
                  lpr -PLEXMARK file_to_print
