Job Limits

Each LC platform is a shared resource. Users are expected to adhere to the following usage policies to ensure that the resources can be effectively and productively used by everyone. You can view the policies on a system itself by running:

Web Version of RZTrona

RZTrona is an M&IC resource to be used for serial and on-node parallelism only. Jobs are scheduled per core.

Hardware

Each Rztrona node contains dual-socket Intel Broadwell processors (2.1 GHz) each with 18 cores for a total of 36 cores/node and 128 GiB memory/node.

Scheduling

Batch jobs are submitted using the SLURM job scheduling system (squeue).

Users are limited to 90 cores per user per bank across all of an individual user's jobs.

Interactive access to a batch node is allowed only while you have a batch job running on that node, and only for the purpose of monitoring your job. When logging into a batch node, be mindful of the impact your work has on the other jobs running on the node.

Multiple users can run on the same node.  If the number of cores is not specified, the job is allocated to one core.  Add this line to your batch script to use 36 cores, and get a node with no other users:

   

SBATCH SCRIPT:

        #SBATCH -n 36

        or

       #SBATCH --exclusive

MSUB SCRIPT:

        #MSUB -l ttc=36

ALWAYS use the msub -l ttc or sbatch -n 36 option when your job will use more than one task.
