 ====== ÚFAL Grid Engine (LRC) ======
-LRC (Linguistic Research Cluster) is a name of ÚFAL's computational grid/cluster.
+LRC (Linguistic Research Cluster) is the name of ÚFAL's computational grid/cluster. The cluster is built on top of [[https://slurm.schedmd.com/|SLURM]] and is using [[https://www.lustre.org/|Lustre]] for [[internal:linux-network#directory-structure|data storage]].
+See Milan Straka's intro to Slurm (and Spark and possibly also the [[https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/courses/npfl118#assignments|NPFL118 assingments]] if you want). Use the username=ufal and small linguistic password:

+Currently there are following partitions (queues) available for computing:
+===== Node list by partitions =====
+The naming convention is straightforward for CPU nodes - nodes in each group are numbered. For GPU nodes the format is: [t]dll-**X**gpu**N** where **X** gives total number of GPUs equipped and **N** is just enumerating the order of the node with the given configuration.
+The prefix **t** is for nodes at Troja and **dll** stands for Deep Learning Laboratory.

+=== CPU core allocation ===
+The minimal computing resource in SLURM is one CPU core. However, CPU count advertised by SLURM corresponds to the number of CPU threads.
+If you ask for 1 CPU core with <code>--cpus-per-task=1</code> SLURM will allocate all threads of 1 CPU core.
+For example ''dll-8gpu1'' will allocate 2 threads since its ThreadsPerCore=2:
+<code>
+$> scontrol show node dll-8gpu1
+$ scontrol show node dll-8gpu1
+NodeName=dll-8gpu1 Arch=x86_64 CoresPerSocket=16

+In the example above you can see comments at all lines relevant to CPU allocation.
+=== Priority ====
+When running srun or sbatch, you can pass ''-q high/normal/low/preempt-low''. These represent priorities 300/200/100/100, with ''normal'' (200) being the default. Furthermore, the ''preempt-low'' QOS is actually preemptible -- if there is a job with normal or high QOS, they can interrupt your ''preempt-low'' job.
+The preemption has probably not been used by anyone yet; some documentation about it is on https://slurm.schedmd.com/preempt.html, we use the REQUEUE regime (so your job is killed, very likely with some signal, so you could monitor it and for example save a checkpoint; but currently I do not know any details), and then started again when there are resources.
 ==== Interactive mode ====
@@ Line 111: / Line 222: @@
 There are many more parameters available to use. For example:
-<code>srun -p cpu-troja --mem=64G --pty bash</code>
+**To get an interactive CPU job with 64GB of reserved memory:**
+<code>srun -p cpu-troja,cpu-ms --mem=64G --pty bash</code>
-  * ''-p cpu-troja'' explicitly requires partition ''cpu-troja''
+  * ''-p cpu-troja'' explicitly requires partition ''cpu-troja''. If not specified slurm will use default partition.
-  * ''--mem=64G'' requires 64G of memory for the job
+  * ''-''''-mem=64G'' requires 64G of memory for the job
-<code>srun -p gpu-troja --nodelist=tdll-3gpu1 --mem=64G --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash</code>
+**To get interactive job with a single GPU of any kind:**
+<code>srun -p gpu-troja,gpu-ms --gres=gpu:1 --pty bash</code>
+  * ''-p gpu-troja,gpu-ms'' require only nodes from these two partitions
+  * ''-''''-gres=gpu:1'' requires 1 GPUs
+<code>srun -p gpu-troja,gpu-ms --nodelist=tdll-3gpu1 --mem=64G --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash</code>
+  * ''-p gpu-troja,gpu-ms'' require only nodes from these two partitions
+  * ''-''''-nodelist=tdll-3gpu1'' explicitly requires one specific node
+  * Note that e.g. ''-''''-nodelist=tdll-3gpu[1-4]'' would execute 4 jobs on **all** the four machines ''tdll-3gpu[1-4]''. The documentation says "The job will contain all of these hosts and possibly additional hosts as needed to satisfy resource requirements." I am not aware of any [[https://stackoverflow.com/a/37555321/3310232|simple way]] how to specify that **any** of the listed nodes can be used, i.e. an equivalent of SGE ''-q '*@hector[14]'''.
+  * ''-''''-gres=gpu:2'' requires 2 GPUs
+<code>srun -p gpu-troja --constraint="gpuram48G|gpuram40G" --mem=64G --gres=gpu:2 --pty bash</code>
+  * ''-''''-constraint="gpuram48G|gpuram40G"'' only consider nodes that have either ''gpuram48G'' or ''gpuram40G'' feature defined
+\\
+**Unexpected Behavior of ''srun -c1''**
+When you execute a command using ''srun'' and pass ''-c1'' like
+<code>srun -c1 date</code>
+then the command is actually executed **twice in parallel**. To avoid it, you have to either **remove the ''-c1''** or also **add explicit ''-n1''.**
+==== Delete Job ====
+<code>scancel <job_id> </code>
+<code>scancel -n <job_name> </code>
-  * ''--nodelist=tdll-3gpu1'' explicitly requires one specific node
-  * ''--gres=gpu:2'' requires 2 GPUs
 To see all the available options type:
-<code>man srun</code>
+<code>man scancel</code>
