SLURM & examples of submission scripts

slurm_1

The queue scheduler of ZEUS is SLURM (analogue of PBS/torque scheduler we use on Pluto and Mercury):

  • Slurm documentation is available here.
  • Basic sample submission scripts are listed HERE.
  • Submission of the job via slurm script “scriptname.sh” can done with command “sbatch”:

    sbatch scriptname.sh

  • Queue states:

    sinfo

  • Listing of running jobs:

    squeue

  • Delete job 1234 from queue

    scancel 1234

  • You can run any executable, e.g. “myexecutable”, on the zeuse’s nodes, e.g. zeus66 and zeus01…zeus06 without any slurm submission scripts (job will be placed in queue anyway):

    srun -w zeus[66,101-106] ./myexecutable

    Note: You will NOT be able to login to the compute node(s) from the head node if you haven’t jobs running on that compute node(s).
