    Software installed on the clusters is organised and managed with environment modules that allow choosing a specific version of a software package compiled with a given compiler, linked to chosen libraries, etc. This session explains how modules are used on the clusters.

    Checkpointing and Restarting, or the art of stopping some computations to continue them later, or on another computer, is a very convenient way to get past time limits set on the clusters, and to protect against hardware or software failure on the compute nodes.
