RCS EXAMPLES

Directory Structure:

hello.py contains a simple python script running a "Hello world" program.

job.qsub contains an example qsub script used to submit a batch job (which runs hello.py) to the SCC.

Instructions:

Use the module system to load python.

[user@scc1 ~] $ module load python3/3.8.6

The SCC has multiple python versions available for both python2 and python3 (recommended). To see these options, run:

[user@scc1 ~] $ module avail python3

To run python interactively in the terminal:

[user@scc1 ~] module load python3/3.8.6 

[user@scc1 ~] $ python 

>>> print("Hello world!")

>>> exit()

To run a python script (e.g. hello.py) directly in terminal:

[user@scc1 ~] $ python hello.py

To run a python script as a batch job:

First, create a script file (e.g. job.qsub) which calls your python script (e.g. hello.py).

Then, to submit a batch job to the SCC, run:

[user@scc1 ~] $ qsub job.qsub

To learn more about the options available for SCC batch jobs, see the SCC documentation on Submitting your Batch Job
