Hahaha, there is no decent coffee in the United States anyway. If you can get some (I'm not sure it is sold there), canned coffee is a decent substitute. Other than that, Coca Cola has lots of caffeine in it, and I am sure there are vending machines on campus (ok, maybe Pepsi, but as far as caffei

Besides the obvious answer of energy drinks, you could buy canned cold brew coffee. It may not be super obvious to others that you are drinking coffee and still allow you to get your coffee fix. On Tue, Jul 4, 2023, 1:36 PM Bjørn-Helge Mevik wrote: > I've signed up for SLUG 2023, which is on Bri

Hi I work on 3 clusters: A, B, C. Each of Clusters A and C has 3 compute nodes and the head node. One of the 3 compute nodes has an old GPU in each cluster of A and C. All nodes, on all clusters, have Ubuntu 22.04 except for the 2 nodes with GPU (both of them have Ubuntu 18.04 to suit the old GPU

Nodes for salloc could also be allowed to be oversubscribed or overloaded. There are a number of tools that can be used to study task performance bottlenecks on HPC clusters. Some of these tools include:SLURM Profiler: The SLURM Profiler is a tool that can be used to collect performance data for SL

About the last point. In the case of sbatch the jobs wait in the queue as long as it takes until the resources are available. In the case of interactive jobs (at least using Son of Grid Engine) they fail after a short time if no resources available. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 4, 2023, at 9:

Performance depends only on the worker node capabilities along with IO. If the worker nodes are the same then may be the nodes under salloc use network drive (main storage) for IO which may slow down the tasks.There are many tools available to localize the bottleneck in the task performance. You ma

Thank you for your answer! And if slurm workers are identical, what can be the reason? Can interactive mode affect the performance? I have submitted the task with the help of "srun {{ name_of_task }} --pty bash", and the result is the same as for launching with salloc. Thanks in advance! вт, 4 ию

They should not affect the task performance. May be the cluster configuration allocated slow machines for salloc. salloc and sbatch have different purposes: salloc is used to allocate a set of resources to a job. Once the resources have been allocated, the user can run a command or script on t

Hello! I have question about way of launching tasks in Slurm. I use the service in cloud and submit an application with sbatch or salloc. As far as I am concerned, the commands are similar: they allocate resources for counting users tasks and run them. However, I have received different results in
