You can use the following job accounting utilities to obtain resource usage and charging information for your project group IDs (GIDs):

• Year-to-date summary: acct_ytd
• Detailed account queries: acct_query

See acct_ytd -h or acct_ytd --help for more information.

The acct_ytd command

The acct_ytd command provides a year-to-date summary of accounting information for the GID groups you belong to, as of the most recent accounting run. Accounts are typically run every night at 12:00 a.m. (Pacific Time).

To view information for each GID you have access to, run the acct_ytd command on any NAS front-end node without any parameters. For example:

% acct_ytd

To view information about a single GID (for example, a0800), specify the GID on the command line:

% acct_ytd a0800

Use the -c hecc-all or -c gpu-all option to get allocation and usage information on the NAS CPU systems or the NAS GPU systems, respectively.

For example:

% acct_ytd -c hecc-all a0800

% acct_ytd -c gpu-all a0800

See acct_ytd -h or acct_ytd --help for more information.

See man acct_ytd for more information.

The acct_query command

The acct_query command searches and displays process-level billing records. You can view detailed billing records for each process run during a particular period, total processes run during the period, or total processes for each day in the period.

For example, to view all of your standard billing unit (SBU) usage for the operational year 2024 (defined as October 1, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2024) for all GIDs you have access to:

% acct_query -y24

To view all SBU usage  beginning November 1, 2024 and ending December 1, 2024 for all projects user zsmith has access to (-p all, default) and on all hosts:

% acct_query -b11/01/24 -e12/01/24 -p all -u zsmith

To specify a GID (for example, a0800), replace -p all with -p a0800.

To specify a specific host, use the -c option with a hostname.

Eligible Hostnames for the -c Option

You can use any of the following parameters after the -c option in the acct_query command line:
