¶ Usage Precautions
When logging in to the CMU HPC ERAWAN system, users will be connected to the login node, named “erawan” (as shown within the red box in the figure below).
The login node serves as an intermediary that receives user commands and forwards them to the compute nodes for execution. It is also used for file transfers, data downloads, and software installation.
Do NOT run computationally intensive jobs directly on the login node.
Doing so will significantly slow down the performance of the login node, affecting other users and potentially causing the entire system to crash.
(Prohibited Action) Running commands such as$ pythonor executing any software directly on the login node is strictly forbidden.All computational jobs must be submitted through the sbatch command instead.
