Sample batch job submission scripts on Sapelo2
Serial (single-processor) Job
Sample job submission script (sub.sh) to run an R program called add.R using a single core:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=testserial # Job name #SBATCH --partition=batch # Partition (queue) name #SBATCH --ntasks=1 # Run on a single CPU #SBATCH --mem=1gb # Job memory request #SBATCH --time=02:00:00 # Time limit hrs:min:sec #SBATCH --output=%x.%j.out # Standard output log #SBATCH --error=%x.%j.err # Standard error log #SBATCH --mail-type=END,FAIL # Mail events (NONE, BEGIN, END, FAIL, ALL) #SBATCH --mail-user=yourMyID@uga.edu # Where to send mail cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR module load R/4.3.1-foss-2022a R CMD BATCH add.R
In this sample script, the standard output and error of the job will be saved into a file called testserial.%j.out and testserial.%j.err, where %j will be automatically replaced by the job id of the job and %x by the jobname.
Serial (single-processor) Job on an AMD EPYC Milan processor
Sample job submission script (sub.sh) to run an R program called add.R using a single core:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=testserial # Job name #SBATCH --partition=batch # Partition (queue) name #SBATCH --constraint=Milan # node feature #SBATCH --ntasks=1 # Run on a single CPU #SBATCH --mem=1gb # Job memory request #SBATCH --time=02:00:00 # Time limit hrs:min:sec #SBATCH --output=testserial.%j.out # Standard output log #SBATCH --error=testserial.%j.err # Standard error log #SBATCH --mail-type=END,FAIL # Mail events (NONE, BEGIN, END, FAIL, ALL) #SBATCH --mail-user=yourMyID@uga.edu # Where to send mail cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR module load R/4.3.1-foss-2022a R CMD BATCH add.R
In this sample script, the standard output and error of the job will be saved into a file called testserial.o%j, where %j will be automatically replaced by the job id of the job.
MPI Job
Sample job submission script (sub.sh) to run an OpenMPI application. In this example the job requests 16 cores and further specifies that these 16 cores need to be divided equally on 2 nodes (8 cores per node) and the binary is called mympi.exe:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=mpitest # Job name #SBATCH --partition=batch # Partition (queue) name #SBATCH --nodes=2 # Number of nodes #SBATCH --ntasks=16 # Number of MPI ranks #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=8 # How many tasks on each node #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 # Number of cores per MPI rank #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=600mb # Memory per processor #SBATCH --time=02:00:00 # Time limit hrs:min:sec #SBATCH --output=mpitest.%j.out # Standard output log #SBATCH --error=mpitest.%j.err # Standard error log #SBATCH --mail-type=END,FAIL # Mail events (NONE, BEGIN, END, FAIL, ALL) #SBATCH --mail-user=yourMyID@uga.edu # Where to send mail cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR module load OpenMPI/4.1.4-GCC-11.3.0 srun ./mympi.exe
Please note that you need to start the application with srun and not with mpirun or mpiexec.
