The Master Node amdahl

The system amdahl is provided for interactive use of the cluster. Development software (editors, compilers, libraries, plotting tools, job submission software) are all available for use on amdahl. Amdahl should be used to develop, compile, and test your computational jobs, but not to run them. Once you are reasonably certain that your job will run as expected, use PBS 2 to submit your job for execution on compute nodes. PBS will automatically find the best available system(s) to execute on. Further information on use of PBS can be found later in this document.
