## Resource reservation / Calendar (for teachers)
Bilbo must be booked for the sessions of practical courses.
To view the cluster occupation, see the [calendar](https://partage.univ-pau.fr/home/%20Cluster_de_calcul_Enseignement@univ-pau.fr/Calendar.html?view=week&tz=Europe%2FBrussels).
To book the cluster:
1. Connect to https://partage.univ-pau.fr.
1. Go to "Calendrier" -> click on the wanted day.
1. Fill the "Sujet" field.
1. Specify the dates and hours of the beginning and ending of the practical course.
1. Click on "Plus de détails...".
1. Click on "Afficher l'équipement".
1. In "Equipement": enter "Cluster_de_calcul_Enseignement".
1. Click on "Envoyer".
## Hardware characteristics
Bilbo is composed of one front-end machine and 4 compute nodes. It **does not have** fast interconnect or network shared scratch.
### Front-end *slurm-ens-frontal*
The Bilbo front-end is a virtual machine dedicated to user connection.
* OS : Debian 10 "Buster".
* Number of cores: 12.
* RAM: 16 GB.
### Compute nodes *slurm-ens[1-4]*
Compute nodes are dedicated to interactive and batch jobs.
* OS : Debian 10 "Buster".
* Node model: PowerEdge C6420.
* Number of cores/node: 28 (two 14-core processors Intel® Xeon® Gold 5120 @ 2,2 GHz).
* RAM/node: 96 GB.
### Disk space
The `quota -s` command provides:
* The user current disk occupation in the "space" column.
* The user quota in the "quota" column (5 GB per user).
```
username@slurm-ens-frontal:~$ quota -s
Disk quotas for user username (uid XXXX):
Système fichiers space quota limite sursisfichiers quota limite sursis
/dev/vda1 281M 4883M 4893M 4110 0 0
```
## Connexion
Open a terminal and use one of the following commands:
```
# Without graphic redirection:
ssh username@bilbo.univ-pau.fr
# With graphic redirection:
ssh -Y username@bilbo.univ-pau.fr
```
where *username* is your UPPA login. Then enter your UPPA password.
It is also possible to open a graphical desktop on Bilbo with X2Go. To do that, use the [same procedure as on Pyrene](https://git.univ-pau.fr/num-as/pyrene-cluster/-/wikis/1-Environment/1.2-Connection-to-Pyrene#graphical-mode-windows-linux-macos-x2go), but replace the Host name _pyrene.univ-pau.fr_ by **_bilbo.univ-pau.fr_**.
## Interactive jobs
When connected to the cluster, use the following commands (example given for the Gaussview software):
```
salloc
module avail
module purge
module load gaussview/6.0
module list
gaussview &
exit
```
## Batch jobs
Slurm job scripts contains two parts:
1. Slurm directives: starting with `#SBATCH`, they specify Slurm options.
1. Unix directives: commands for your job execution, such as loading modules, launching an executable program, etc.
Here are some self-explanatory job script examples for several softwares/applications on Bilbo:
