List of HPC Queues
You will be using a queue system, in this case the PBS (portable batch system), to ask your code to execute on a compute node. Depending on the maximum time limit, your code can use. Our clusters offer a variety of Queues. According to PBS, script file must contain the queue name.
The command below can be used to obtain the list of available queues on the clusters, along with their specifics:
$ qstat -q
PBS Queue Configuration Summary
Queue Name Max Walltime Default Walltime Max CPUs Max GPUs Run Limit (Per User) Priority
workq 12:00:00 01:00:00 10 -- Not Set 40
short 12:00:00 02:00:00 10 -- 2 jobs 50
medium 24:00:00 06:00:00 20 -- 2 jobs 30
long 384:00:00 12:00:00 10 -- 1 job 10
gpu 48:00:00 12:00:00 20 -- 1 job 1
dgx 24:00:00 05:00:00 20 01 Not Set 40
max_dgx 192:00:00 05:00:00 40 02 1 job 1
USAGE POLICY
Users will submit jobs only through the queue. Running long production runs interactively on any node without using the queue is strictly forbidden.
Chaining of jobs on the interactive and debug queues are strictly forbidden.
User will not place jobs on hold for more that 4 hours. Such jobs shall be deleted by the systems administrator beyond the allowed limit.
A single user can have no more than 3 jobs waiting in the queue at any point of time.
Users should (as far as possible) route all runtime I/O operations to the parallel file-system (scratch area).
STORAGE QUOTA
Every user will be allocated a home area 50 GB for all users, by default.
Additional space can be allocated based on adequate justification.
The location of this area will be e.g. /home/<userid>. and can also be accessed by the environmental variable $HOME
