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, we will use SpanishLing_Trial in this tutorial guide)

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

Click on “submit”

2. Enter Jupyter

If there are available nodes (picture A), you will be able to enter Jupiter right away. In that case, follow these steps:

Click on “connect”

Click on “work”

Click on “MADR_LingFeatPipelines”

If there are no available nodes (picture B), you will have to wait in a queue until it’s available.

3. Create a folder

Click on “new”

Click on “folder”

Name folder. In this tutorial guide, I will use the name of InputFolder_Trial

If you cannot see the folder you created, click on “last modified” a couple of times. Sometimes it doesn’t update immediately.

4. Upload input file

Enter the folder you just created

Click on “upload” and upload the input files

5. Go to the terminal

Once the files have been uploaded, click on the new menu dropdown

Click on terminal

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 spanishPipelineWithSpacyV3_6, press enter

Type or copy the command below, then press enter:

python spanishLingPipeline.py InputFolder_Trial/ spanishLing_Trial spanishLingTrialSupplementary_Output

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.

InputFolder_Trial 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.

spanishLing_Trial and spanishLingTrialSupplementary_Output are the names 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.

8. Run the python script

After writing your command and pressing enter, wait a few seconds. You will know when it’s done running when you see this at the bottom of the terminal (see picture, circled in red).

9. Find output files

Once the files are finished running, follow the next steps:

Go back to the notebook

Click on the refresh button (if needed)

If the generated files did not pop up, click on “last modified,” sometimes it takes a minute to update.

You will 1 output file in coma separated value version and 1 folder (see picture).

10. Download output files

First, we want to download the linguistic features. Check the box with the csv file and click on download (picture A).

Then, enter the supplementary output folder and download the files one by one (picture B).

11. Clear cache and log out

Clear cache by typing the code rm -r ~/.cache/

Press enter

Then, log out from the terminal by typing the command logout (see picture A)

Press enter

Go back to the original TACC page and click on “end job” (see picture B).

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO END THE JOB AS THE NODES ARE VERY LIMITED. THE JOB WILL KEEP RUNNING UNLESS YOU COMPLETE THIS STEP.
