Course assignment

First get familiar running the example provided on the Teach cluster:            
                                                                                
  1. Log into the teach cluster: ssh USERNAME@teach.scinet.utoronto.ca          
  2. Change directory to your scratch folder: cd $SCRATCH                       
  3. Copy the material needed for this course: cp -r /scinet/course/introhpc $S
CRATCH                                                                           
  4. Change to the newly created directory: cd $SCRATCH/introhpc                
  5. Submit the job sweep_bondbreak.sh: sbatch sweep_bondbreak.sh               
  6. Once completed, check the output in the file slurm-<JobID>.out: less slurm
-*.out

Once you have completed successfully the steps above, please complete the assignment task:                                                                       
                                                                                
   1. The script `sweep_bondbreak.sh` executes 96 repeats of the                
     computation of the bond breakage time, one by one. These could all run in
parallel.                                                                        
   2. How long did this script take?                                            
   3. Create a modified version of sweep_bondbreak.sh,                      
      sweep_bondbreak_parallel.sh, that uses GNU                                
     Parallel to parallelize the computation using 16 cores on a single         
     compute node of the Teach cluster.                                         
   4. Submit this new script to the scheduler. How long did the new script      
   take?
   5. The script sweep_bondbreak_parallel.sh and its standard output should be
submitted to this course website by Thursday, September 26, 11:55 PM (EDT).
