Available Resources on QUonG:
- 16 nodes (SuperMicro X8DTG-D)
- each node is dual socket, with one 4-core Intel Xeon E5620 2.40GHz per socket
- each node OS is (diskless, boot from network) Centos 6.4 with kernel 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 (x86_64 arch)
- GNU C/C++ compiler is version 4.4.7
Available SLURM queues on QUonG
- 4 nodes (q000-03) in the debug queue (30 min. run time limit)
- 8 nodes (q004-11) in the run queue (4 hrs. run time limit)
- remaining 4 nodes (q012-15) in the run queue under SLURM reservation, needs permission for '--reservation=apenet_development' option - ask us if you need access
To view resources on QUonG:
- 'sinfo': list of currently available queues and their status
Example output:
PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST debug* up 30:00 2 alloc q[000-001] debug* up 30:00 2 idle q[002-003] run up 4:00:00 4 maint q[012-015] run up 4:00:00 6 alloc q[004-009] run up 4:00:00 2 idle q[010-011]
- 'squeue': list of currently queued jobs in the available queues
Example output:
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 656479 debug job7.sh delia R 4:32 1 q001 656480 debug job8.sh delia R 4:24 1 q000 656473 run job1.sh delia R 5:07 1 q008 656474 run job2.sh delia R 5:04 1 q009 656475 run job3.sh delia R 4:57 1 q004 656476 run job4.sh delia R 4:44 1 q005 656477 run job5.sh delia R 4:42 1 q006 656478 run job6.sh delia R 4:36 1 q007
To run on QUonG:
- allocate a number of nodes from a queue with salloc, get an interactive shell and run from there, exit the shell to relinquish the resources.
Example:
[user@quong ~]$ salloc -N 2 -p debug <--- ask for 2 nodes (-N option) from the 'debug' queue (-p option) salloc: Granted job allocation 656482 [user@quong ~]$ mpirun hostname q002.qng q002.qng q003.qng q003.qng [user@quong ~]$ exit exit salloc: Relinquishing job allocation 656482
- execute a script with sbatch asking for a number of nodes from a queue.
Example:
[user@quong ~]$ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash mpirun hostname [fsimula@quong ~]$ sbatch -p run --reservation=apenet_development -N 3 ./test.sh Submitted batch job 656517
If not specified, stdout is redirected to a file 'slurm_$jobid.out'
[fsimula@quong ~]$ cat slurm-656517.out q012.qng q012.qng q014.qng q014.qng q013.qng q013.qng
