$DRES environment variable points to the shared repository where Data RESources are maintained. This is a data archive area available only on-request, shared with all CINECA HPC systems and among different projects. $DRES is not mounted on the compute nodes. This means that you cannot access it within a batch job: all data needed during the batch execution has to be moved to $WORK or $CINECA_SCRATCH before the run starts.

Since MARCONI is a general purpose system and it is used by several users at the same time, long production jobs must be submitted using a queuing system. This guarantees that the access to the resources is as fair as possible.
Roughly speaking, there are two different modes to use an HPC system: Interactive and Batch. For a general discussion see the section section UG2.6 Production Environment and Tools.

Interactive

A serial program can be executed in the standard UNIX way:
