Advanced Slurm Training

https://pawsey.org.au/event/advanced-slurm-training/

Description:

The training outline follows:

  1. Slurm Refresher
    • How Slurm actually works.
    • How Slurm schedules jobs.
    • How long to wait; how to better schedule jobs.
    • Slurm and priorities; how is it done?
  2. Key features
  3. Resource Management
  4. Running a job; job/step allocation
    • Examples – GPUs
    • Examples – Job Arrays
  5. Advanced Features
    • Topology Aware Scheduling
    • Job Sanity Check
    • Job profiling
    • Multithreading (SMT)
    • Heterogeneous j obs
  6. Job Dependencies
    • Chain Jobs
    • Staging input before running, and storing outputs
    • Master/Slave programs
    • Submitting collections of programs (multi-prog)
  7. System Information Job monitoring
  8. Checkpointing & Restart
  9. Use of SLURM API (plans to support this in the future on Pawsey systems)
