The HAL Slurm Wrapper Suite was designed to help users use the HAL system easily and efficiently. The current version is "swsuite-v0.23", which includes

srun (slurm command) → swrun : request resources to run interactive jobs.

sbatch (slurm command) → swbatch : request resource to submit a batch script to Slurm.

squeue (slurm command) → swqueue : display resource from all computing nodes.

Rule of Thumb

• Minimize the required input options.
• Consistent with the original "slurm" run-script format.
• Submits job to suitable partition based on the number of GPUs needed (number of nodes for CPU partition).

Usage

• swrun -p <partition_name> -c <cpu_per_gpu> -t <walltime> -r <reservation_name>
  • <partition_name> (required) : cpucpun1, cpun2, cpun4, cpun8, gpux1, gpux2, gpux3, gpux4, gpux8, gpux12, gpux16.
  • <cpu_per_gpu> (optional) : 12 cpus (default), range from 12 cpus to 36 cpus.
  • <walltime> (optional) : 24 hours (default), range from 1 hour to 72 hours.
  • <reservation_name> (optional) : reservation name granted to user.
  • example: swrun -p gpux4 -c 36 -t 72 (request a full node: 1x node, x4 node, 144x cpus, 72x hours)
• swbatch <run_script>
  • <run_script> (required) : same as original slurm batch.
  • <job_name> (optional) : job name.
  • <output_file> (optional) : output file name.
  • <error_file> (optional) : error file name.
  • <partition_name> (required) : cpu, gpux1, gpux2, gpux3, gpux4, gpux8, gpux12, gpux16.
  • <cpu_per_gpu> (optional) : 12 cpus (default), range from 12 cpus to 36 cpus.
  • <walltime> (optional) : 24 hours (default), range from 1 hour to 72 hours.
  • <reservation_name> (optional) : reservation name granted to user.

  • example: swbatch demo.sbswb

    Code Block
    language bash title demo.sbswb
    #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name="demo" #SBATCH --output="demo.%j.%N.out" #SBATCH --error="demo.%j.%N.err" #SBATCH --partition=gpux1 srun hostname
