Using the UCSD Spartan`20 computational server at spartanserver.ucsd.edu
Instructions for submitting remote computational jobs to the UCSD Spartan`20 server
While most computational jobs from Spartan`24 can still be submitted to the server (which is running Spartan`20), any calculations that make use of new computational features in Spartan `24 will have to be executed locally. This includes,
computational models that have "Corrected" or "Est." in the title,
some of the Conformational Distribution tasks that use a neural network,
and the NMR Spectrum task.
Configuring the Spartan`20 computational server on your own computer
Note, these instructions are for using your own computer as a remote server. To access the server at spartanserver.ucsd.edu for remote job submission, follow the instructions in the previous section (above).
