Stata in OOD
Getting Started
You can run Stata in OOD by going to the URL ood.hpc.nyu.edu in your browser and selecting STATA from the Interactive Apps pull-down menu at the top of the page. Once you've used it and other interactive apps they'll show up on your home screen under the Recently Used Apps header.
Be aware that when you start from Recently Used Apps it will start with the same configuration that you used previously. If you'd like to configure your NGLView Jupyter Notebook session differently, you'll need to select it from the menu.
Configuration
You can select the Stata version, number or cores, amount of memory, amount of time, and optional Slurm options.
Stata running in OOD
After you hit the Launch button you'll have to wait for the scheduler to find node(s) for you to run on:
Then you'll have a short wait for Stata itself to start up.
Once that happens you'll get one last form that will allow you to:
- open a terminal window on the compute node your Stata session is running on
- go to the directory associated with your Session ID that stores output, config and other related files for your session
- set compression and image quality for your app
- get a share-able, view only link to your app
Then after you hit the Launch STATA button, your Stata window will be displayed.
Stata example
Please enter the following commands into the Stata command window and execute them by hitting enter:
. sysuse auto
. describe
. summarize
. twoway (scatter mpg weight)
You should get output like this:
