This is a good way for troubleshooting and testing script before a long run. With 12 cores per node (select) for 20 minutes (-W 20). Run an interactive (-Is) job with 12 tasks (-n 12) on 1 node (span) To request an interactive session on the compute nodes directly, you will login to Henry 2.įor interactive use of STATA, use the commands below on an HPC login node: Interactive on the HPC Compute Nodes using GUI.You can run Stata in three different ways: stata-se - Stata for large datasets (Stata/SE).stata-mp - The fastest edition of Stata (for multiprocessor computers) that can analyze the most data (Stata/MP).stata - Stata for mid-sized datasets (default Stata/IC).
