* -stripe Use this parameter to initiate a “striped” GridFTP transfer that uses more than one node at the source and destination. As multiple nodes contribute to the transfer, each using its own network interface, a larger amount of the network bandwidth can be consumed than with a single system. Thus, at least for “big” (> 100 MB) files, striping can considerably improve performance.
==Usage of the Sun Grid Engine SLURM scheduler ==  Basically the SGE is a scheduler, which divides the resources, computers into resource partitions. These are called queues. A queue can’t be larger than a physical resource; it can’t expand its borders. SGE registers a waiting list for the resources managed by itself, to which the posted computing tasks are directed. The scheduler searches for the resource defined by the description of the task and starts it. The task-resource coupling depends on the ability of the resources and the parameters of the tasks. In case the resources are overloaded, the tasks have to wait while the requested processor and memory becomes available.  The detailed documentation of the SGE can be found [Website: http://docsslurm.oracleschedmd.com/cd/E24901_01/doc.62/e21976.pdf here].  SGE version on all HPC sites: [http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/documentation.html Open Grid Scheduler (OGS/GE 2011.11p1)]  === The most simple commands ===  The most simple SGE command is the display of the cluster data:  <code> qhost</code> A possible outcome of this command can be: {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- |HOSTNAME|ARCH|NCPU|LOAD|MEMTOT|MEMUSE|SWAPTO|SWAPUS|-|global |<nowiki>-</nowiki>  |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |<nowiki>-</nowiki>  |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |<nowiki>-</nowiki>|-|uv |linux-x64 |1152 |900.56 |6057.9G |132.4G |0.0 |0.0|}   The first two columns define the names and types of the computers, which are in the cluster. The NCPU column shows the number of the available processor cores. LOAD shows the computer’s load for the moment (this value equals with the value demonstrated by the uptime UNIX command). The rest of the cells are: overall physical memory, the actual used memory, the available swap-memory, and the used swap. The global line marks all the information in total regarding the cluster. We can have a look at the available queue-s with the following command:  <code> qconf -sql</code> One probable outcome of the command:  <code> test.q uv.q </code>  To get more info about the state of the system use  <code> qstat -f</code> It shows which jobs run in which queues, and you can also get detailed info about the queues themselves (state, environment). The command can be used without the -f switch too, but it is less informative, since in this case only the jobs’ states will appear. The command’s outcome:  <code>  queuename qtype resv/used/tot. load_avg arch states <nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </nowiki> test.q@uv BIP 0/1/30 800.15 linux-x64 905 1.00000 PI_SEQ_TES stefan r 06/04/2011 09:12:14 1 <nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </nowiki> uv.q@uv BIP 0/802/1110 800.15 linux-x64  </code>
The first column schedule of this table shows the name of HPCs are CPU hour based. This means that the row, the second column marks the type (B-batch, I-interactive, C-checkpointing, P-parallel environment, E-error state)available core hours are divided between users on a monthly basis. All UNIX users are connected to one or more account. This scheduler account is connected to an HPC project and a UNIX group. The third part of the column shows how many HPC jobs can only be run at sent by using one of the accounts. The core hours are calculated by the same multiplication of wall time in (time spent running the rowjob) and the CPU cores requested. All in all, these values fit to the number of overall processor For example reserving 2 nodes (48 cpu cores in ) at the systemNIIFI SC for 30 minutes gives 48 * 30 = 1440 core minutes = 24 core hours. The second item of Core hours are measured between the column shows start and and the free compartments at end of the momentjobs.

==== Example ====
After executing the command, the following table shows up for Bob. The user can access, and run jobs by using two different accounts (foobar, barfoo). He can see his name marked with * in the table. He shares both accounts with alice (Account column). The consumed core hours for the users are displayed in the second row (Usage), and the consumption for the jobs ran as the account is displayed in the 4th row. The last two row defines the allocated maximum time (Account limit), and the time available for the machine (Available).

Each task is given an identifier, which is a number (a job ID, or j_id), this is followed by the job’s priority (0 in both cases), then the job’s name, and the user who posted the job, and the qw marks, that the job is waiting for the queue. Finally the date of the registration for the waiting queue is next When a job finishes running, this is created: jobname.ojobnumber in our actual catalog, which contains the error messages and stapled outputs created by the program.. === Job submission Estimating core time === Back thenBefore production runs, the SGE scheduler was designed it is advised to be able to operate different types of architectures. That’s why you can’t post binary files directly, only scripts, like the  <code> qsub script.sh</code> commandhave a core time estimate. The script describes the task, the main parameters of it, and its running. For example in the following script, the described ''hostname.sh'' taskcommand can be used for getting estimate:
<code>
#!/bin/sh #$ sestimate -N HOSTNAME /bin/hostname NODES -t WALLTIME
</code>
where <code>NODES</code> are the number of nodes to be reserved, <code>WALLTIME</code> is the maximal time spent running the job.
'''It is important to provide the core time to be reserved most precisely, because the scheduler queue the jobs based on this value. Generally, a job with shorter core time will be run sooner. It is advised to check the time used to run the job after completion with <code>sacct</code> command.'''
can be posted with the following command: ==== Example ====
<code> qsub hostnameAlice want to reserve 2 days 10 hours and 2 nodes, she checks, if she have enough time on her account.sh</codepre>sestimate -N 2 -t 2-10:00:00
Estimated CPU hours: 2784
</pre>
Unfortunately, she couldn't afford to run this job.
The scripts can be used for separating the different binaries: === Status information ===
Jobs in the queue can be listed with <code>squeue</code> command, the status of the cluster can be retrieved with the <code>sinfo</code> command. All jobs sent will get a JOBID. The properties of a job can be retrieved by using this id. Status of a running or waiting job:
<code>
#!/bin/sh case `uname` in SunOS) ./pi_sun FreeBSD) ./pi_bsd esac</code>scontrol show job JOBID
With the following command, we can define the queue where the scheduler puts the job:
 
<code>
qsub -q serial.q range.sh
</code>
 The command qsub can All jobs will be issued with a number of different switches, which are gathered in the following table: {| class="wikitable" border="1"|-|Parameter|Possible example|Result|-| -N name| -N Flow|The job will appear under this name in the queue.|-| -cwd| -cwd|The output and the error files will appear in this actual cataloginserted into an accounting database.|-| -S shell| -S /bin/tcsh|The shell in which the scripts run.|-| -j {y|n}| -j y|Joining the error and the output in one file.|-| -r {y|n}| -r y|After a restart, should the job restart too (from the beginning).|-| -M e-mail| -M stefan@niif.hu|Scheduler information will be sent to this address about the job.|-| -l| -l h_cpu=0:15:0|Chooses a queue for the job where 15 minutes properties of CPU time could be ensured.

This will cause that bigger parallel jobs will get higher priority.|}  qsub command arguments can be added to the ~/.sge_request file. If this file exists then it will be added to the qsub arument list. Sometimes we want to delete a job before its running. For this you can use the  
<code>
qdel job_idsacct -l -j JOBID
</code>
command. Memory used can be retrieved by using
<code>
qdel 903smemory JOBID
</code>
The example deletes the job number 903. Disk usage can be retrieved by this command:
<code>
qdel -f 903sdisk JOBID
</code>
It can delete the running jobs immediately.==== Example ====
For pending and then continuing There are 3 jobsin the queue. The first is an array job which is waiting for resources (PENDING). The second is an MPI job running on 4 nodes for 25 minutes now. The third is an OMP run running on one node, just started. The NAME of the jobs can be freely given, it is advised to use qmod {-sshort,-us}informative names.

If there is a need to change the features (resource requirements) of a job put into the waiting list, it can be done with the command: ''qalter'' MaxVMSize MaxVMSizeNode AveVMSize MaxRSS MaxRSSNode AveRSS---------- -------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------10271792K cn06 10271792K 6544524K cn06 6544524K 10085152K cn07 10085152K 6538492K cn07 6534876K </pre>
==== Checking jobs ====
It is important to be sure the application fully uses the core time reserved. A running application can be monitored with the following command:
<code>
qalter -l h_cpu=0:12:0 903 sjobcheck JOBID
</code>
===== Example =====
This job runs on 4 nodes. The previous command alternates LOAD group provides information about the hard-CPU requirements general load of the job machine, this is more or less equal to the number 903 (h_cpu) and changes it to 12 minutesof cores. The switches CPU group gives you information about the exact usage. Ideally, values of the qalter command <code>User</code> column are mainly overlap over 90. If the value is below that, there is a problem with the application, or it is not optimal, and the ones of run should be ended. This example job fully using ("maxing out") the qsub commandavailable resources.

In a special case, we have to execute the same task, but on different data. These tasks are the array jobs. With SGE we can upload several jobs to the waiting. For example in the pi task shown in previous chapter, it can be posted multiple times, with different parameters, with the following script:''array.sh'' ==== Checking licenses ====
The used and available licenses can be retrieved with this command:
<code>
#!/bin/sh #$ -N PI_ARRAY_TEST ./pi_gcc `expr $SGE_TASK_ID \* 100000` slicenses
</code>
The SGE_TASK_ID is an internal integer used by the SGE, which created values for each running job. The interval can be set up when posting the block: ==== Checking downtime ====
In downtime periods, the scheduler doesn't start new jobs, but jobs can be sent. The periods can be retrieved by using the following command:
<code>
qsub -t 1-7 array.sh sreservations
</code>
=== Running jobs ===
meaning that Running applications in the arrayHPC can be done in batch mode.sh program will run in seven issues, This means all runs must have a job script containing the resources and commands needed. The parameters of the SGE_TASK_ID will have scheduler (resource definitions) can be given with the value <code>#SBATCH</code> directive. Comparison of 1, 2the schedulers, and the directives available at slurm are available at this [http://slurm.schedmd.com/rosetta., 7 in every running issuepdf table]. The qstat -f shows how the block tasks are split:

For example, in the case of block tasks, there is a possibility to delete particular parts of the block. If we want to delete the subtasks from 5-7 of the previous task, the command
The following command submit jobs:
<code>
qdel -f 907sbatch jobscript.5-7 sh
</code>
will delete chosen componentsIf the submission was successful, but leaves the tasks 907.1-4 intact.The result of the running following is seven individual files, with seven different running solutionsoutputted:<pre>It can happen; that Submitted batch job JOBID</pre>where <code>JOBID</code> is the task placed in unique id of the queue won’t start. This case the: job
The following commmand cancels the job:
<code>
qstat -j job_id scancel JOBID
</code>
command will show the detailed scheduling information, containing which running parameters are unfulfilled by the task. The priority of the different tasks only means the gradiation listed in the pending jobs. The scheduler will analyze the tasks in this order. Since it requires the reservation of resources, it is not sure, that the tasks will run exactly the same order.==== Job queues ====
If we wonder why a certain job won’t startThere are two separate queue (partition) available in the HPC, here’s how you the <code>test</code> queue and the <code>prod</code> queue. Tha latter is for the production runs, the former is for testing purposes. In the test queue, 1 node can be allocated for the maximum of half hours, The default queue is <code>prod</code>. Test partition can get informationbe chosen with the following directive: <pre>#SBATCH --partition=test</pre>
<code> qalter -w v job_id</code>==== Quality of Service (QoS) ====
One possible outcome There is an option for submitting low priority jobs. These jobs can be interrupted by any normal priority job at any time, but only the half of the time is billed to the account. Interrupted jobs will be automatically queued again. Therefore it is important to only run jobs that can be interrupted at any time, periodically saves their states (checkpoint) and can restart quickly.The default QoS is <code>normal</code>, non-interruptable.
<code> Job 53505 cannot run in queue "szeged.q" because it is not contained in its hard queue list (-q) Job 53505 (-l NONE) cannot run in queue "cn46.szeged.hpc.niif.hu" because exclusive resource (exclusive) is already in use Job 53505 (-l NONE) cannot run in queue "cn48.szeged.hpc.niif.hu" because exclusive resource (exclusive) is already in use Job 53505 cannot run in PE "mpi" because it only offers 0 slots verificationThe following directive choses low priority: no suitable queues</code> You can check with this command where the jobs are running:  <codepre> qhost #SBATCH -j -qqos=lowpri</codepre>

1000 MB memory is allocated for 1 CPU core by default, more can be allocated with the following directive:
<pre>
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=MEMORY
</pre>
where <code>MEMORY</code> is given in MB. The maximum memory/core at NIIFI SC is 2600 MB.
=== Queue types =Email notification ====Sending mail when the status of the job change (start, stop, error):<pre>#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL#SBATCH --mail-user=EMAIL</pre>where <code>EMAIL</code> is the e-mail to notify.
==== Array jobs ====
Array jobs are needed, when multiple one threaded (serial) jobs are to be sent (with different data). Slurm stores unique id of the instances in the <code>SLURM_ARRAY_TASK_ID</code> enviromnemt variable. It is possible to seperate threads of the array job by retrieving these ids. Output of the threads are written into <code>slurm-SLURM_ARRAY_JOB_ID-SLURM_ARRAY_TASK_ID.out</code> files. The scheduler uploads outputs tightly. It is useful to use multiply threads for a CPU core. [http://slurm.schedmd.com/job_array.html More on this topic]
===== Example =====Alice user submits 96 serial job for a maximum of 24 hour run. on the expenses of 'foobar'parallelaccount.q'' The <code>#SBATCH --array=1- for paralel jobs (jobs 96</code> directive indicates, that it is an array job. The application can be run maximum 31 days)with the <code>srun</code> command. This is a shell script in this example.<pre>#!/bin/bash#SBATCH -A foobar#SBATCH --time=24:00:00#SBATCH --job-name=array#SBATCH --array=1-96srun envtest.sh</pre>
==== MPI jobs ====
Using MPI jobs, the number of MPI processes running on a node is to be given (<code>#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=</code>). The most frequent case is to provide the number of CPU cores. Parallel programs should be started by using <code>mpirun</code> command.
===== Example =====Bob user allocates 2 nodes, 12 hour for an MPI job, billing 'barfoo'serialaccount.q'' 24 MPI thread will be started on each node. The stdout output is piped to <code>slurm.out</code> file (<code>#SBATCH - for serial jobs (jobs can run maximum 31 dayso</code>).
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -A barfoo
#SBATCH --job-name=mpi
#SBATCH -N 2
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=24
#SBATCH --time=12:00:00
#SBATCH -o slurm.out
mpirun ./a.out
</pre>
==== CPU binding ====Generally, the performance of MPI application can be optimized with CPU core binding. In this case, the threads of the paralel program won''testt be scheduled by the OS between the CPU cores, and the memory localization can be made better (less cache miss). It is advised to use memory binding. Tests can be run to define, what binding strategy gives the best performance for our application. The following settings are valid for OpenMPI environment.q'' Further information on binding can be retrieved with <code>--report- test queuebindings</code> MPI option. Along with the running commands, few lines of the job will be killed after 2 hoursdetailed binding information are shown. It is important, that one should not use task_binding of the scheduler!
===== Binding per CPU core =====
In this case, MPI fills CPU cores by the order of threads (rank).
<pre>
Command to run: mpirun --bind-to-core --bycore

==== OpenMP (OMP) jobs ====
For OpenMP paralell applications, 1 node needs to be allocated, and the number of OMP threads needs to be provided with the <code>OMP_NUM_THREADS</code> environment variable. The variable needs to be written before the application (see example), or needs to be exported before executing the command:
<code>
CUSTER QUEUE CQLOAD USED RES AVAIL TOTAL aoACDS cdsuE <nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </nowiki> parallel.q 0.91 460 0 44 504 0 0 serial.q 0.84 200 0 40 240 0 0 test.q 0.00 0 0 24 export OMP_NUM_THREADS=24 0 0
</code>
===== Example =====
Alice user starts a 24 threaded OMP application for maximum 6 hours on the expenses of foobar account.
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -A foobar
#SBATCH --job-name=omp
#SBATCH --time=06:00:00
#SBATCH -N 1
OMP_NUM_THREADS=24 ./a.out
</pre>
=== Running PVM job = Hybrid MPI-OMP jobs ====  To run the previously shown and translated gexample application, we need the following task-describing ''gexample.sh'' script:  <code> #!/bin/sh #$ -N GEXAMPLE ./gexample << EOL 30 5 EOL </code>
We can submit this with When an application uses MPI and OMP it is running in hybrid MPI-OMP mode. Good to know that Intel MKL linked applications MKL calls are OpenMP capable. Generally, the following commanddistribution suggested: MPI process number is from 1 to the CPU socket number, OMP thread number is the number of CPU cores in a node, or the half or quarter of that (it depends on code). For the job script, the parameters of these two needs to be combined.
===== Example =====Alice user sent a hybrid job on the expenses of the 'foobar' account for 8 hours, and 2 nodes. 1 MPI process is running on one node using 24 OMP thread per node. For the 2 nodes, 2 MPI process is running, with 2x24 OMP threads<codepre> qsub #!/bin/bash#SBATCH -A foobar#SBATCH --job-name=mpiomp#SBATCH -N 2#SBATCH --time=08:00:00#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1#SBATCH -pe pvm 5 gexampleo slurm.outexport OMP_NUM_THREADS=24mpirun ./a.sh out</codepre>

==== GPU compute nodes ====
The Szeged site accomodates 2 GPU enabled compute nodes. Each GPU node has 6 Nvidia Tesla M2070 cards. The GPU nodes reside in a separate job queue (<code>--partition gpu</code>). To specify the number of GPUs set <code>--gres gpu:#</code> directive.
All computers are set up with several installations of ===== Example =====Alice user submits to the MPI systemfoobar account a 4 GPU, 6 hour job.<pre>#!/bin/bash#SBATCH -A foobar#SBATCH --job-name=GPU#SBATCH --partition gpu#SBATCH --gres gpu: vendor4#SBATCH -specific MPI implementations, and MPICH system too. The default setup is the vendor-specific MPI.time=06:00:00
Running in the MPI environment is similar to the PVM environment. Let’s have a look at the example shown in the previous chapter connectivity. A very simple task which tests the MPI tasks’internal communication. Use the following connectivity.sh script to run it: $PWD/gpu_burnout 3600</pre>
<code>
#!/bin/sh
#$ -N CONNECTIVITY
</code>
<code> == Extensions == mpirun Extensions should be asked for at the Execution site (NIIF) at prace-np $NSLOTS support@niif.hu. All requests will be carefully reviewed and decided if eligable./connectivity </code>
Here, the $NLOTS variable indicates that how many processors should == Reporting after finishing project ==A report must be used in the MPI environmentcreated after using PRACE resources. This equals with that number what we have reuired Please contact prace-support@niif.hu for the parallel environmentfurther details.
The job can be submitted with the following command: == Acknowledgement in publications ==
<code> qsub -pe mpi 20 connectivity.sh </code>PRACE
With this command we instruct the scheduler '''We acknowledge [PRACE/KIFÜ] for awarding us access to create a parallel MPI environment containing 20 processors, and reserve space for it resource based in one of the queuesHungary at [Budapest/Debrecen/Pécs/Szeged]. Once the space is available, the job starts:'''

Running the program will result '''We acknowledge KIFÜ for awarding us access to resource based in two files: the first one (CONNECTIVITY.o910) is the overlap of the result of the already run program standard output and standard error, while the second one (CONNECTIVITY.po910) is for the follow-up of the operation of the parallel environmentHungary at [Budapest/Debrecen/Pécs/Szeged]. If the running is successful, this file is empty. The command -pe mpi 20 can be given in the script too with the directive #$ -pe mpi 20'''
Where technical support has been received the following additional text should also be used:'''Important notes: you should use mpirunThe support of [name of person/people] from KIFÜ, Hungary to the technical work is gratefully acknowledged.sge by SGI MPT on the Debrecen supercomputer''' when you run a job under SGE. This can automatic parse which machines have been selected by SGE.
This way you can check that you are using SGI MPT or not: DEBRECEN[service0] ~ (1)$ type mpirun mpirun is hashed (/opt/nce/packages/global/sgi/mpt/2.04/bin/mpirun) DEBRECEN[service0Category: HPC] ~ (0)$ type mpirun.sge mpirun.sge is hashed (/opt/nce/packages/global/sgi/mpt/2.04/bin/mpirun.sge) DEBRECEN[service0] ~ (0)$ You should use mpirun binary directly if you are using SHF3 environment or you would like to use a more complex MPI run. However, you need to parse the SGE's PE_HOSTFILE environment variable in this case.Running OpenMP jobsThere are applications that either use the solutions of the operation system for multi-threaded program execution, or use a special library designed for this, like OpenMP. These applications have to be instructed how many threads they can use. The matrix multiplication algorithm presented in the previous chapter can be described with the following omp_mm.sh script #!/bin/sh #$ -N OPENMP_MM ./omp_mm it can be submitted with this command which will use 6 threads qsub -pe openmp 6 omp_mm.shCheckpointing supportAt the moment the system doesn’t support any automatic checkpointing/restarting mechanism. If it is need, the application has to take care of it.
