Starting an Anvil session

When you start a session on Anvil, by default, you session will last for 1 hour and will use just 1 computing core. We have a limited number of hours and cores on Anvil that we are allocated for the 9 month academic year. So please do not just request many hours and many cores unless you need to. (We also monitor the usage on Anvil.)

Sometimes you need a few more cores, or sometimes you want to run a session for more than 1 hour. For instance, here we demonstrate how to run a session for 1 hour that uses 3 cores instead of 1 core.
