Hello, At Southampton we are in the process of evaluating SURM with a view to replacing torque/moab. It’s highly likely that our next HPC cluster will use SLURM. One of our major concerns is migrating users from torque/moab to SLURM. In this respect a web based job submission system or job script template would be invaluable.
I’m aware of slurm-web, however I get the impression that that is just for monitoring systems. That is, it does not provide a job submission mechanism. Is that correct? If so is there anything out there that can be used as a web based submission portal? I have come across a job script template developed by BYU in the US. This is simple to install, however I see that it assumes that MPI jobs utilize all the cores on the requested compute nodes. That is, it generates a script template with the following line… #SBATCH --ntasks=32 It would be great to hear from a site that has generalized this template to specify/limit the number of cores per node (due to memory requirements for example) and the total number of cores in use. That is, a template that can generate the following scripting.. #SBATCH --ntasks=16 # Number of processor cores (i.e. tasks) #SBATCH --nodes=4 # Number of nodes requested #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4 # Tasks per node If anyone has modified the BYU template with the above flexibility then it would be good to hear from them, please. We would be keen to have a copy of the modified scripts/executables, please. That’s assuming that they are happy to share their files/executables with us. Best regards, David
