2 Overview Today we re going to cover: Learn the basics of SLURM s architecture and demons Learn to how to use a basic set of commands Learn how to write a sbatch script for job submission This is only an introduction, but it should provide you a good start. 2

3 What is SLURM Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management - Started as a simple resource manger for Linux clusters - About 500,000 lines of C code today The glue for a parallel computer to execute parallel jobs - Make a parallel computer as almost easy to use as a PC - Typically use MPI to manage communications within the parallel program 3

4 Cluster Architecture ( 4

5 BioHPC (current system and partition) storage systems: (Lysosome & Endosome ) /home2 /project /work Computer nodes: partitions Login via SSH to nucleus.biohpc.swmed.edu Nucleus005 (Login Node) Submit job via SLURM 64GB* : Nucleus GB : Nucleus GB : Nucleus (GPU : Nucleus ) 384GB : Nucleus050 super : Nucleus

6 BioHPC (future partition) 64GB* : 8 nodes -> 0 nodes 128GB : 16 nodes -> 32 nodes 256GB : 8 nodes -> 32 nodes 384GB : 1 nodes -> 2 nodes super : 41 nodes -> 66 nodes GPU : 2 nodes -> 8 nodes total : 41 nodes -> 74 nodes 6

7 Role of SLURM (resource management & job scheduling) Fair-share resource allocations Allocate resources within a cluster - Supports hierarchical communications with configurable format - For each node, socket : cores per socket : threads per core = 2 : 8 : 2, therefore, total available parallel tasks within a single node = 2*8*2 = 32 When there is more work than resources, SLURM manages queues of work - request resource based on your needs - resource limits by queue, user, etc. 7

8 SLURM commands SLURM commands - Before job submission : sinfo, squeue, sview, smap - Submit a job : sbatch, srun, sallocate, sattach - During job running : squeue, sview, scontrol - After job completed : sacct 8

9 Commands: General Information Man pages available for all commands --help option prints brief descriptions of all options --usage option prints a list of the options Almost all options have two formats - A single letter option (e.g. -p super ) - A verbose option (e.g. --partition=super ) 9

10 sinfo DEMO Reports status of nodes of partitions (partition-oriented format by default) >sinfo --Node (report status in node-oriented form) >sinfo p 256GB (report status of nodes in partition 256GB ) 10

11 Life cycle of a job after submission Submit a Job Pending Configuration (node booting) Resizing Running Suspended Completing * BioHPC Policy : 16 running nodes per user Cancelled (scancel) Completed (zero exit code) Failed (non-zero exit code) Time out (time limit reached) 11

12 Demo: submit a job and use squeue, and scontrol to check job >squeue >scontrol show job {jobid} 12

13 Demo: cancel job with scancle, and use sacct to check previous jobs >scancel {jobid} >sacct u {username} >sacct j {jobid} 13

14 List of SLURM commands sbatch : Submit a script for later execution (batch mode) salloc : Create job allocation and start a shell to use it (interactive mode) srun : Create a job allocation (if needed) and launch a job step (typically an MPI job) sattach : Connect stdin/stdout/stderr for an existing job or job step squeue : Report job and job step status smap : Report system, job or step status with topology, less functionality than sview sview : Report/update system, job, step, partition or reservation status (GTK-based GUI) scontrol : Administrator tool to view/update system, job, step, partition or reservation status sacct : Report accounting information by individual job and job step 14

15 List of valid job states PENDING (PD) : Job is awaiting resource allocation RUNNING (R) : Job is currently has an allocation SUSPENDED (S) : Job has an allocation, but execution has been suspended COMPLETING (CG) : Job is in the process of completing COMPLETED (CD) : Job has terminated all processes on all nodes COMFIGURING (CF) : Job has been allocated resources, waiting for them to be ready for use CANCELLED (CA) : Job was explicitly cancelled by the user or system administrator FAILED (F) : Job terminated with non-zero code or other failure condition TIMEOUT (TO) : job terminated upon reaching its time limit NODE_FAIL (NF) : Job terminated with non-zero exit code or other failure condition 15

16 Demo 01 : submit a single job to single node #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=singlematlab #SBATCH --partition=super #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --time=0-00:00:30 #SBATCH --output=single.%j.out #SBATCH --error=single.%j.time module add matlab/2013a format: D-H:M:S set up SLURM environment load software (export path & library) time(matlab -nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash -r "forbiohpctestplot(1), exit") alternatively you may use: matlab nodisplay nodesktop nosplash < script.m Command (s) you want to execute Running time ~3.046 s 16

17 More sbatch options #SBATCH --begin=now+1hour Defer the allocation of the job until the specified time #SBATCH mail-type=all Notify user by when certain event types occur (BEGIN, END, FAIL, REQUEUE, etc.) #SBATCH Use to reveive notification of state changes as defined by mail-type #SBATCH --mem=65536 Specify the real memory required per node in MegaBytes. Default value is DefMemPerNode (UNLIMITED) #SBATCH --nodelist=nucleus0[10-20] Request a specific list of node names. The order of the node names in the list is not important, the node names will be sorted by SLURM 17

25 Demo 07 : submit job with dependency >sbatch test_srun2nodes.sh >sbatch depend={jobid} gen_gif.sh 25

26 Parallelize your job At thread level - Shared Memory: multiple processors can operate independently but share the same memory - multi-threading - Fast but lower scalability (can not cross the node) e.g.: POSIX Threads, usually referred to as Pthreads - Implemented with a <pthread.h> header and a thread library - For C programming language - Thread management creating, joining threads etc. 26

27 Demo 08 : submit multi-core job to single node #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=phenix #SBATCH --partition=super #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH ntasks=30 not necessary need to be specified here #SBATCH --time=0-20:00:00 #SBATCH --output=phenix.%j.out #SBATCH --error=phenix.%j.time Think of your job at a scientific aspect. If this scientific problem can be solved in parallel. module add phenix/1.9 phenix.den_refine model.pdb data.mtz nproc=30 Check with the software or read the manual to see if it is able to use multithreading. Try to use proper parameters If you need help, send to biohpc-help@utsouthwestern.edu 27

28 Parallelize your job At node level - Distributed Memory - Processors have their own local memory - Memory is scalable with number of processors Q: How does a processor access the memory of another node? e.g. Message Passing Interface - Scales to over 100k processors - Distributed - Library of functions (for C, C++, Fortran), not a new language 28
