The backend job scheduler is Gridengine, which is different from the PBS used by NCI, but both work similarly
Submit a Batch Job
A batch job can be submitted by using command qsub, in the following pattern:
qsub -b y -N JOB_NAME -pe smp NUMBER_OF_CPU -l RESOURCE1 RESOURCE2 RESOURCE3
The following tables summarises the common resources which can be specified in the qsub command:
Parallel Environments (-pe)
Parallel environments is the way of specifying the number of CPUs,
PE | ||
|---|---|---|
smp | Allocate X number of CPUs on the SAME compute node | |
mpi | Allocate X number of CPUs from multiple compute node, this is mainly used by a job that implemented under Open MPI. | |
