1. Job Scripts
Two scripts are used to run a serial job.
Slurm serial job script.
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -J launchergpu # job name
#SBATCH -o launchergpu.o%j # output and error file name (%j expands to jobID)
#SBATCH -N 4 # number of nodes requested
#SBATCH -n 16 # total number of tasks to run in parallel
#SBATCH -p normal # queue (partition)
#SBATCH -t 02:30:00 # run time (hh:mm:ss)
module load launcher
export LAUNCHER_WORKDIR=/home/nbc170001/TACCLauncher
export LAUNCHER_JOB_FILE=jobfile.sh
${LAUNCHER_DIR}/paramrunLAUNCHER_JOB_FILE points to the script executing software. For example to run a c++ executable:
Example LAUNCHER_JOB_FILE=jobfile.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, World!"
./Main 3
./Main 4
./Main 10
./Main 15To run your jobscript on compute nodes, use sbatch
$ sbatch runserial.shTo check on job status
[nbc170001@ganymede TACCLauncher]$ squeue
