Various ways of using Mathematica under the queueing system are presented below. Running Mathematica in the queueing system (on cluster nodes)

On the cluster - remember to login to chcuk with X forwarding: ssh -X chuck. To start Mathematica on any workstation in the CAMK network type mathematica or (if it wasn't set up) /Vol/share/Mathematica//Executables/mathematica.

System administrators can kill abandoned (no immediate contact), idle (no kernel activity) sessions. If all the licenses are busy please negotiate directly with their users. To display current usage of the Mathematica licenses type monitorlm on chuck. Please do not leave Mathematica sessions open when not needed! the frontend for editing notebooks and the kernel for calculations in the text mode (useful in the batch system). Each of them can be used separatelly, e.g. The software consists of two independent components - the graphical frontend and the kernel, so actually there are 7 frontend licenses and 7 kernel licenses. There are 7 Mathematica licenses available at CAMK. The full manual is available from the program level and on the web.

It's used mostly for symbolic math but can do much more. Mathematica is a platform for all forms of computations.
