Running jobs on RCC systems using the SLURM batch scheduler and Best Practices

John Crerar Library - Kathleen A. Zar Room

RCC users can run jobs either interactively or by submitting jobs to be scheduled to run on allocated resources in batch using a job scheduler.The RCC uses SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) to manage workloads on all its compute clusters (MidwayR2, MidwayR3, Beagle3,MidwayR, etc.). In addition to learning the best practices, this workshop will provide users with a clear understanding of all the compute partitions available at the RCC to which a job can be submitted to, how to configure a Slurm job, how to use Slurm commands, how to submit a job, and how to avoid common mistakes that usually result in a job waiting for a long time in the queue before running or failing to run. 
Objectives: 
Participants will: 
learn the various Midway resources and partitions for running jobs
learn Slurm commands, how to create a Slurm batch script, and how to submit batch jobs
acquire a good understanding of RCC module system and run time environments
learn how to submit serial single processor and parallel (OpenMP and MPI) multiple processor jobs
learn how to submit GPU jobs
learn how to submit a job that is carried on several times by a given code, differing only in the initial value of some high-level parameter for each run (Slurm job array) 
learn how to pack jobs and schedule independent processes inside a Slurm job allocation
learn how to submit Message passing parallel jobs (MPI), multi-threading (OpenMP), and hybrid jobs.
learn how to request a Slurm interactive session
learn best practices and how to debug Slurm script
Level: Introductory
Duration: 1.5 hours
