The Queuing System
The queuing system is used to run jobs on the cluster. Essentially, this is a lineup of jobs that will be run on one or more of the computer nodes. When one job finishes, the next job in the queue will start.Command line utilities
qstat -u username: see what is in the queue
qstat -f: full listing of jobs running and in the queue
qsub: submit a job
qfree: see a list of machines with idle processors
qdel: delete a job by job number
qcd: changes directory to run directory of job number
deljob.pl: delete a job -- this reads the machines in ll_out and kills all of your processes on them
Submission Script
Sample script
| #$ -M email@mail.utexas.edu | Email address for job status notification |
| #$ -pe mpi8 8 | This is the number of processors for the job (stick to 2 for now) |
