-LRC (Linguistic Research Cluster) is a name of ÚFAL's computational grid/cluster, which has (as of 2017/09) about 1800 CPU cores (115 servers + submission heads), with a total 10 TiB of RAM. It uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Grid_Engine|(Sun/Oracle/Son of) Grid Engine]] software (SGE) for job scheduling etc. You can submit many computing tasks (jobs) at once, they will be placed in a queue and once a machine (slot) with the required capabilities (e.g. RAM, number of cores) is available, your job will be executed (scheduled) on this machine. This way we can maximize the usefulness of the computing resources and divide it among users in a fair way.+LRC (Linguistic Research Cluster) is a name of ÚFAL's computational grid/cluster, which has (as of 2018/06) about 1728 CPU cores (65 servers + 10 submission heads), with a total 7.2 TiB of RAM.

 In the following tutorial, we will prepare a wrapper shell script ''script.sh'' with a toy task. In practice you can name the script whatever you want and you can execute the real task, e.g. a Python/Perl/... script. It is recommended to use the wrapper shell scripts, but with ''-b y'' (see [[#advanced usage]]) you can execute a Python/Perl/... directly without any wrapper. In the following tutorial, we will prepare a wrapper shell script ''script.sh'' with a toy task.
