Using Hydra

For detailed instructions and template scripts for running a job on Hydra see Running Jobs on Hydra. The examples given run a CASA script.

Note that Hydra can be used for serial as well as parallel jobs. The link above gives examples of both options.

We compared the time taken to run a job on the different Hydra disks - see the results at Comparing Disk Speeds on Hydra.
