New PBS Feature: Reserving Skylake Nodes for "At-Scale" (Wide) Jobs06 Dec, 2018
A new PBS queue, called sky_wide, is now available to help you run very wide (at-scale) jobs on Electra's Skylake nodes by ensuring that at least once a week, the jobs in the queue will have enough available nodes to run. Each week, jobs submitted to the sky_wide queue by Thursday at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) will have nodes reserved for them starting the following Monday at 10:00 a.m. The jobs must request between 25 and 50 percent of the total number of Skylake nodes and will be run one at a time, from widest to narrowest, until they are finished. Each job will run in its own reservation, giving you an opportunity to correct a failing program and try it again until it succeeds or the reservation expires. For more information, see: Running "At-Scale" Jobs in the sky_wide Queue If you have any questions, please contact the Control Room at (800) 331-8737, (650) 604-4444, or support@nas.nasa.gov. |
