Interactive Use of Fiji via FastX

We recommend to launch the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of Fiji as an interactive job via the Open OnDemand Desktop interactive app. You may request a core count and amount of memory through the text boxes on the Open OnDemand form. Be sure to supply your allocation account where requested.

Once the Desktop is launched, open a terminal window. Load the fiji module and start the application:

module load fiji
ImageJ-linux64 --mem=32G &

Run a Fiji script as Slurm Job

To execute a Fiji script non-interactively on a compute node, you can use the following Slurm job script template.

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=fiji_example
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=8
#SBATCH --mem=32G
#SBATCH --time=04:00:00
#SBATCH --partition=standard
#SBATCH --account=<YOUR_ALLOCATION>

#Load the Fiji Module
module load fiji

# Change to temp working directory with example files
ImageJ-linux64 --mem=32G --headless <FIJI_SCRIPT> <SCRIPT_ARGS>
  • Adjust the --cpus-per-task, --mem and --time options as needed. Note that not all built-in Fiji functions or Fiji scripts are designed to utilize multiple cpu cores.

  • Replace <YOUR_ALLOCATION> with your allocation account.

  • Replace <FIJI_SCRIPT> and <SCRIPT_ARGS> with your custom Fiji script and add script arguments as required by the particular Fiji script.
