Job Examples

A batch job starts with a few comments, giving information to the batch system about the nature of the job.

Please note: The Account code is mandantory, and the account code is not your loginname, but a code used for accounting. Each user has at least one, but can have several. The choosen account code is used for billing the job.


Job sample large job, will be executed in '?multi' on v901-v907

#PBS -q dq
#PBS -l cpunum_job=16           # cpus per Node
#PBS -b 2                       # number of nodes, max 4 at the moment
#PBS -l elapstim_req=12:00:00   # max wallclock time
#PBS -l cputim_job=192:00:00    # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l cputim_prc=11:55:00     # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l memsz_job=500gb         # memory per node
#PBS -A <acctcode>              # Your Account code, see login message, without <>
#PBS -j o                       # join stdout/stderr
#PBS -T mpisx                   # Job type: mpisx for MPI
#PBS -N MyJob                   # job name
#PBS -M MyMail@mydomain         # you should always specify your emai

Job sample small job, will be executed in '?single' on v900 in shared mode, other jobs will run on same node.

#PBS -q dq
#PBS -l cpunum_job=8            # cpus per Node
#PBS -b 1                       # number of nodes
#PBS -l elapstim_req=12:00:00   # max wallclock time
#PBS -l cputim_job=192:00:00    # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l cputim_prc=11:55:00     # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l memsz_job=64gb          # memory per node
#PBS -A <acctcode>              # Your Account code, see login message, without <>
#PBS -j o                       # join stdout/stderr
#PBS -T mpisx                   # Job type: mpisx for MPI
#PBS -N MyJob                   # job name
#PBS -M MyMail@mydomain         # you should always specify your emai

Job sample test job, will be executed in 'test', always one job running, no matter how loaded node is.

#PBS -q dq
#PBS -l cpunum_job=4            # cpus per Node
#PBS -b 1                       # number of nodes
#PBS -l elapstim_req=1200       # max wallclock time
#PBS -l cputim_job=600          # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l cputim_prc=599          # max accumulated cputime per node
#PBS -l memsz_job=16gb          # memory per node
#PBS -A <acctcode>              # Your Account code, see login message, without <>
#PBS -j o                       # join stdout/stderr
#PBS -T mpisx                   # Job type: mpisx for MPI
#PBS -N MyJob                   # job name
#PBS -M MyMail@mydomain         # you should always specify your emai

Contents of Job

A typical job will create a workspace, copy some data, run the application and save some data at the end.

Multithreaded job

ws=`ws_allocate myimportantdata 10`    # get a workspace for 10 days
cd $ws                                 # go there
cp $HOME/input/file.dat .              # get some data
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=8               # use 8 OMP threads
export F_PROGINF=DETAIL                # get some performance information after the run
$HOME/bin/myApp                        # run my application
cp output.dat $HOME/output

MPI job

ws=`ws_allocate myimportantdata 10`    # get a workspace for 10 days
cd $ws                                 # go there
cp $HOME/input/file.dat .              # get some data
export MPIPROGINF=DETAIL
mpirun -nn 2 -nnp 16 $HOME/bin/myApp   # run my application on 2 nodes, 16 CPUs each (32 total)
cp output.dat $HOME/output

Hybrid OpenMP and MPI job

SCR=`ws_allocate MyWorkspace 2`    
cd $SCR
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=16              # 16 threads
export MPIPROGINF=YES
export MPIMULTITASKMIX=YES
MPIEXPORT="OMP_NUM_THREADS"            # make this environment known to all nodes
export MPIEXPORT
mpirun -nn 4 -nnp 1 $HOME/bin//mycode  # run on 4 nodes using 1 process per node, but 16 threads
cp outfile $HOME/output
