Please ensure you read the HPC usage guidelines and SOP before using the BRAHM High-Performance Computing Facility of the Indian Biological Data Centre.

• All the communication regarding the HPC access, analysis and account renewal will be sent to IBDC support (support@ibdc.rcb.res.in).
• All new users should complete the HPC usage training before submitting any jobs to the cluster.
• The User Server account login credential will be valid for one month, and you are requested to renew your account monthly.
• After six months, the user has to submit the usage report and justify why he/she needs further HPC access.
• Users have to submit all jobs in the HPC using only the PBS script (see the PBS template section). It is not permissible to log directly into the compute nodes in any case.
• Users are requested to remove or kill the jobs with E status otherwise, they will be auto- killed after 24 Hrs.
• Intensive tasks must not be run on the head/login nodes; these should be reserved for editing code and job scripts, code compilation, data movement, submitting jobs and managing the queuing system.
• Any suspicious job that is having an adverse effect on the cluster may be deleted without any prior notification.
• If the required software or tools are not available in the cluster, kindly email the details of the required software along with the link to its source and execution details to IBDC support at support@ibdc.rcb.res.in.
• Provide details of your research articles published on research work conducted using the 'BRAHM-HPC' facility to IBDC (support@ibdc.rcb.res.in).
