Job Files
While not the only method of submitted a job, job files fulfill the needs of most users.
The general idea behind job files follows:
- Make resource requests
- Add your commands and/or scripting
- Submit the job to the batch system
Several of the most important options are described below. These options are typically all that is needed to run a job on Terra.
| Specification | Option | Example | Example-Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node Count | -N [min[-max]] | -N 4 | Spread all cores across 4 nodes |
| Operating System: | Linux (CentOS 7) | ||
| Total Compute Cores/Nodes: | 8,512 cores 304 nodes | ||
| Compute Nodes: | 256 compute nodes, each with 64GB RAM 48 GPU nodes, each with a single Tesla K80 GPU and 128GB of RAM | ||
| Interconnect: | Intel OmniPath100 Series switches. | ||
| Peak Performance: | ~X TFLOPs (TBD) | ||
| Global Disk: | 1.5PB (raw) via IBM's GSS26 appliance for general use 1.5PB (raw) via IBM's GSS256 purchased by a dedicated for GeoPhysics | ||
| File System: | General Parallel File System (GPFS) | ||
| Batch Facility: | Slurm by SchedMD | ||
| Location: | Teague Data Center | ||
| Production Date: | Fall 2016 (tentative) |
Several examples of Slurm job files for Terra are listed below. For translating Ada/LSF job files, the Batch Job Translation Guide provides some reference.
Documentation for advanced options can be found under Advanced Documentation.
