Submitting Jobs

Jobs can be submitted using bsub command. For more information on bsub , go to bsub You can also check Running jobs for more detail.

Some example:

1. bsub -Is -gpu - bash

This command will submit an interactive job to gpu queue and creates a pseudo-terminal with shell mode when the job starts. Also, it will provide you the jobid.

for example

[bhatiag@ds-lg-01 ~]$ bsub -Is -gpu - bash
Job <5972> is submitted to queue <gpu>.
<<Waiting for dispatch ...>>
<<Starting on ds-cmgpu-05>>

2. bsub -gpu - scriptname

It will submit the script to gpu queue

for example

[bhatiag@ds-lg-01 ~]$ bsub -gpu - python.py
Job <5978> is submitted to queue <gpu>.

3. bsub -gpu "num=2:mode=shared:mps=yes" – scriptname

It will set the properties of gpu resources required by the job

Example 1

[bhatiag@ds-lg-01 ~]$ bsub -gpu "num=2:mode=shared:mps=yes" – python.py
Job <5979> is submitted to queue <gpu>.

You can check the job status using bjobs

Example 2

Consider a bash file python.sh with following commands into it

#!/bin/bash
source . /opt/anaconda2/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate py36
python example.py

Sumit the job python.sh</ci=ode> using following command

[bhatiag@ds-lg-01 ~]$ bsub -oo "output.txt" -gpu "num=1:mode=exclusive_process:mps=yes" "python.sh"
Job <5980> is submitted to queue <gpu>.

output file will contain

[bhatiag@ds-lg-01 ~]$ cat output.txt
