OVERVIEW

The CCB login nodes are primarily provided in order to allow the submission of jobs to the cluster. cbrglogin3.molbiol.ox.ac.uk is also provided as a large memory login node on which it is acceptable to run large, interactive programs such as R-Studio, Python or other analysis tools.

Since the login nodes are a shared resource which can be in use by dozens of people at once, it's not possible for us to permit a single user to monopolise on the resources. As such, a watchdog program checks for processes which are using a disproportionate quantity of memory, and terminates them. Given the total memory available on cbrglogin3 it's unlikely this will happen under normal circumstances, but if it does, you'll receive an e-mail from us to tell you what's happened.

GETTING HELP

You can email the CCB team using the email address help@imm.ox.ac.uk. Using this address ensures your email is logged and assigned a tracking number, and will go to all the core team, which means the appropriate person or people will be able to pick it up.
