Introduction:

Throughout the course we have had you running anything of substance (ie programs and scripts) on iDev nodes. This was done in large part thanks to the availability of the reservation system which allowed you to access an iDev node without having to wait. In previous years tutorials were planned around a:

• "hurry up and get the job started its going to sit for some amount of time in the que"
• "what can we tell them while they wait for their job to run" 
• "DRAT! there is a typo in their command's file they have to edit and go back to the end of the que". 

Together this has enabled each of you to accomplish more tutorials than previous years while hopefully learning more.

Objectives:

1. Familiarize yourself with TACC's job submission system.
2. Tidy up some other loose ends from the course.
