 ===== Basic usage ===== ===== Basic usage =====
 +
 +==== Batch mode ====
 +
 +The core idea is that you write a batch script containing the commands you wish to run as well as a list of ''SBATCH'' directives specifying the resources or parameters that you need for your job.
 +Then the script is submitted to the cluster with:
 +
 +<code>sbatch myJobScript.sh</code>
 +
 +Here is a simple working example:
 +
 +<code>
 +#!/bin/bash
 +#SBATCH -J helloWorld   # name of job
 +#SBATCH -p cpu-troja   # name of partition or queue
 +#SBATCH -o helloWorld.out   # name of output file for this submission script
 +#SBATCH -e helloWorld.err   # name of error file for this submission script
 +
 +# run my job (some executable)
 +sleep 5
 +echo "Hello I am running on cluster!"
 +</code>
 +
 +After submitting this simple code you should end up with the two files (''helloWorld.out'' and ''helloWorld.err'') in the directory where you called the ''sbatch'' command.
 +
 +Here is the list of other useful ''SBATCH'' directives:
 +<code>
 +#SBATCH -D /some/path/                        # change directory before executing the job   
 +#SBATCH -N 2                                  # number of nodes (default 1)
 +#SBATCH --nodelist=node1,node2...             # required node, or comma separated list of required nodes
 +#SBATCH -c 4                                  # number of cores/threads per task (default 1)
 +#SBATCH --gres=gpu:1                          # number of GPUs to request (default 0)
 +#SBATCH --mem=10G                             # request 10 gigabytes memory (per node, default depends on node)
 +</code>
 +
 +As usuall the complete set of options can be found by typing:
 +
 +<code>
 +man sbatch
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Running jobs ====
 +
 +In order to inspect all running jobs on the cluster use:
 +
 +<code>
 +squeue
 +</code>
 +
 +filter only jobs of user ''linguist'':
 +
 +<code>
 +squeue -u linguist
 +</code>
 +
 +filter only jobs on partition ''gpu-ms'':
 +
 +<code>
 +squeue -p gpu-ms
 +</code>
 +
 +filter jobs in specific state (see ''man squeue'' for list of valid job states):
 +<code>
 +squeue -t RUNNING
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +

   * ''--mem=64G'' requires 64G of memory for the job   * ''--mem=64G'' requires 64G of memory for the job
  
-The detailed info can be found in the manual ''man srun''. +To see all the available options type:
  
 +<code>man srun</code>
