| Unix & Bash Tutorial | Page | In this tutorial you will be introduced to the Unix filesystem and bash. We will cover navigating the file system, viewing and editing files, combining bash commands, searching for files, and file permissions. Finally, you will write your first bash script! 1 - Introduction to the Unix File System... |
| ColdFront | Page | 1.0 - What is ColdFront? ColdFront provides self-service management of RC Projects and associated Resource Allocations for Principal Investigators (PIs). Through ColdFront, PIs can update Project information (e.g. description, grants, publications), add/remove collaborators to their projects, and request additional resources for their projects. Never used Research Computing before?... |
| Convert from DOS to Unix Line Endings with Vim | Page | If you open files that were created in Windows and the lines all end with ^M, you can delete them with one of the following approaches: dos2unix is a command line utility that will convert DOS line endings to Unix line endings In Vim… You... |

| External Research Collaborators | Page | We do allow external research collaborators to have access to the cluster. If your collaborator has no other connection to RIT other than as a research collaborator, then they should be registered as a Visiting Scholar. Your new user will need a UID from the registrar. The sponsoring faculty... |
| Frequently Asked Questions | Page | Basics Q: Who can use the Research Computing cluster? Faculty and Student researchers associated with RIT’s Main Campus are eligible to use the cluster if their research will result in published outputs (e.g. conference/journal papers, Ph.D. dissertations, M.S. theses). Researchers from RIT Dubai or other globus campuses can... |
| Sharing Data with Globus | Page | Globus is a non-profit service that enables secure and reliable research data management. From the Globus website: With Globus, subscribers can move, share, & discover data via a single interface – whether your files live on a supercomputer, lab cluster, tape archive, public cloud or your laptop, you... |
| Help Links | Page | ServiceNow (help.rit.edu) Project Request: Before using Research Computing services, please fill out this questionnaire to provide us with details about your research and your computational needs. Please be specific. Once your Project is approved, it will be set up in ColdFront. Modify Project Membership: This functionality... |
| Slurm Tutorial 1: Getting Started | Page | On a compute cluster, there are often many people competing to use a finite set of resources (e.g. CPUs, GPUs, RAM). If everyone on the cluster just starts running code, then everyone will have a bad time as resources get shared between all of the different programs running. To solve... |
| Slurm Tutorial 2: Scaling Up | Page | In Part 1 of this tutorial you learned about the Slurm resource manager/job scheduler, how to tell Slurm what resources you need, and how to submit, monitor, and cancel your compute jobs. Now you are going to learn how to make the most of the cluster using parallel computation... |
| Software Tutorial | Page | In this tutorial, you will be introduced to the different ways you can access the software you need on the Research Computing cluster. We will discuss pros and cons for each approach. This tutorial assumes you are familiar with Slurm and have written an... |
| SSH Tutorial | Page | The Secure SHell (SSH) protocol is used to securely access remote servers using a public key and private key. The public key acts like a lock–anyone can see it–but only the holder of that corresponding private key and unlock it. When connecting to a remote server that has your... |
| Storage Tutorial | Page | In this tutorial, you will learn everything you need to learn about storage on the RC cluster. Warning: DO NOT use RC resources to store Social Security Numbers (SSNs), Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs), other national identification numbers, University Identification Numbers (UIDs), driver’s license... |
