Yang could also check out https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/hopper/running-jobs/exam ple-batch-scripts/

which shows many ways of running serial jobs in parallel.

Ray,

It seems to me that we should at least require Mr. Yang to write a script to run 16 processes simultaneously on a single node, otherwise he would be wasting over 90% of his allocation.

It would not be difficult to do this with a bash script. See https://pebblesinthesand.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/a-srcipt-for-running-pro cesses-in-parallel-in-bash/ for example.

Hi Ray,

Typically, I would submit job without MPI, each single jobs might need 10 hours, to each node. But I am considering using MPI if that can make the jobs way more efficient.(not guaranteed but will try)

I will graduate by next summer.

I think you are absolutely right, I would adjust the core hours to: Oct-Dec 2014 Q1: 0 Jan-Mar 2015 Q2: 9000 Apr-Jun 2015 Q3: 400000 Jul-Sep 2015 Q4: 90000

Actually, the request is not only for me, but also for some other people including Zelimir Djurcic, who is my advisor in Argonne. They might use the resource not for now, but in the Q3,Q4.

For now(Q2), I think I am the only one who will submit jobs to the cluster. I have some urgent jobs to run.

Thanks, Guang

We received your request for a new LCRC project and have a few follow-up questions about it.

Please tell us a little more about the codes you will use. Are they parallel codes (e.g., using MPI)? LCRC's Blues computer has 16-core nodes. How many nodes will you be using for a typical job? How many wall-clock hours will a typical job take?

I see that you are a PhD student at IIT with advisors there and at Argonne. When do you expect to graduate?

Note that we use the Federal fiscal year, so the 2nd quarter ends in about a week (March 31). So your request is:

Requested allocation: 490000 Oct-Dec 2014 Q1: 0 Jan-Mar 2015 Q2: 200000 Apr-Jun 2015 Q3: 200000 Jul-Sep 2015 Q4: 90000

Is that what you intended with your request?

Best regards,

Ray

Hello,

A new project on the LCRC cluster has been requested. Please forward the information on to the LCRC Allocation sub-committee.

Applicant's name: Guang Yang Applicant's institution: ANL Applicant's division: HEP Project Name: NeutrinoSim Project title: Neutrino Simulation Associated funding: DOE Other Systems: Science: Doing the simulation related to neutrino physics. Argonne HEP do participate quite lots of neutrino projects, including Double Chooz, Nova, LBNF, MINOS, JUNO and so on. Large amount of simulation is needed. Project description: Submitting simulation jobs to simulate reactor antineutrino detector response by using offline softwares. Industry partnership: Project URL: Requested allocation: 490000 Q1: 0 Q2: 200000 Q3: 200000 Q4: 90000 Justification: Storage requirements:

The requester has used undetermined amount hours of their initial startup project.

In addition to approving an initial amount, please specify a Category and Subcategory for this project. For a list of the current selection of approved categories, please see:

https://wiki.lcrc.anl.gov/wiki/Processes/Categories

Once the Allocation committee has approved the project, please go to the Project Management page to create it:

https://accounts.lcrc.anl.gov/projects.php

Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
