1.2

Submit a job on TACC by clicking on the dropdowns and selecting:

• Lonestar 6

• Jupyter Notebook

• DBS23006

• vm-small

• Nodes 1; Tasks 1

• Job name (can be anything, I will use CatalanLing_Trial in this tutorial guide)

• Time limit (I will use 2 hours in this tutorial guide)

• Click on “submit”

*Note. If you're struggling to get nodes on the vm-small queue, I'd recommend trying the development queue. This applies to everything except transcription (where you should try gpu-a100-small, followed by gpu-a100-dev, followed by gpu-a100).

7. Type the commands

Once you are in the terminal, follow these steps (if running several audio files):

• Type cdw, press enter

• Type MADR_LingFeatPipelines,press enter

• Type conda activate catalanPipeline, press enter

• Type or copy the command below, then press enter:

python catalanLingPipeline.py catalanPipelineTrialFiles/ catalanLing_Trial

Keep in mind that the red and green sections change depending on your input and output files. The purple section always remains the same.

The parts circled in red, green, and gold change depending on the name of your input and output files.

• catalanPipelineTrialFiles is the name of my input file. Your command will change depending on the name you give your file. Remember that the exact ortography must match. If the name of the file that you uploaded is all in lowercase, the command in the terminal must be all in lowercase.

• catalanLing_Trial is the name of the output file and output folder. You can change this part of the command (in the terminal) depending on the name you want to give your output file and folder.
