Description

PARTITION

The list of the cluster’s partitions. It’s a set of compute nodes grouped logically

AVAIL

The active state of the partition. (up, down, idle)

TIMELIMIT

The maximum job execution walltime per partition.

NODES

The total number of nodes per partition.

STATE

mix Only part of the node is allocated to one or more jobs and the rest in an Idle state.

allocThe entire resource on the node(s) is being utilized

idleThe node is in an idle start and has none of it’s resources being used..

NODELIST(REASON)

The list of nodes per partition.

To request specific numbers of GPUs, you should add your request to your srun/sbatch:  

Below is an example of requesting 1 GPU - can request up to 4 GPUs on a single node

Code Block
--gres=gpu:1

SRUN

Example:

Code Block
srun --gres=gpu:1 --partition=partition_name --time=01:00:00 --mem=8G --cpus-per-task=4 --pty bash

Breakdown:

  • --gres=gpu:1: Allocates 1 GPU to your job.

  • --partition=partition_name: Specifies the partition to run the job in. Replace partition_name with the appropriate partition, like scu-gpu.

  • --time=01:00:00: Requests 1 hour of runtime. Adjust the time as needed.

  • --mem=8G: Requests 8 GB of memory.

  • --cpus-per-task=4: Requests 4 CPU cores.

  • --pty bash: Launches an interactive bash shell after resources are allocated.
