Hi,
Here is a topic about "Understanding Application and Data Files" for HPC you might be interested in. For how to run jobs on HPC, it may depend
on where is your application, data files, and where(the nodes) you want the jobs be run.
For example, in the case you mentioned, you can try run a job directly with one task using command line "job submit powershell.exe ping localhost"
