Jobs

The Jobs section is where you create, manage, and monitor computing jobs.

Active Jobs

This tab displays a list of currently running jobs on the HPC clusters. It provides real-time insight into job status, resource usage, and queue position.

Clusters

This section provides tools to connect directly to the compute environment.

Lovelace Cluster Shell Access

Click Lovelace Cluster Shell Access to open a terminal session on one of the compute nodes in the Lovelace cluster.

This is useful for advanced users who prefer working directly on the command line or need to run diagnostic or interactive commands.

System Status

The System Status page provides a summary of the current cluster workload:

  • Number of available nodes and processors.
  • Summary of jobs in the queue and those currently running.

Applications

This tab displays all of the applications in your disposal. These applications are the same as the ones listed under Pinned Apps.
