Checking the Status of Computing Nodes
You can check the general status the computing nodes by using the sinfo
command, which will display the following:
PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST
normal* up 14-00:00:0 1 drain* c8
normal* up 14-00:00:0 1 drain c39
normal* up 14-00:00:0 18 mix c[5-7,9-14,16-19,21-22,24-26]
normal* up 14-00:00:0 1 alloc c40
normal* up 14-00:00:0 14 idle c[15,20,27-38]
bcc up 14-00:00:0 5 mix b[13-16],c2
bcc up 14-00:00:0 4 idle b17,c[1,3-4]
kellis up 28-00:00:0 12 mix b[1-12]
We've also provided a custom command, nodeInf
, that will give more detailed information about each node. For example:
NODELIST PARTITION CPUS(A/I/O/T) CPU_LOAD FREE_MEM MEMORY STATE
b1 kellis 82/14/0/96 145.58 405507 768000 mixed
b2 kellis 84/12/0/96 302.81 504957 768000 mixed
...
c1 bcc 0/32/0/32 0.01 127590 128000 idle
c2 bcc 8/24/0/32 15.34 380 128000 mixed
c3 bcc 0/32/0/32 0.01 127534 128000 idle
c4 bcc 0/32/0/32 0.01 127505 128000 idle
c5 normal* 2/14/0/16 0.01 127561 128000 mixed
c6 normal* 2/14/0/16 18.90 344 128000 mixed
...
NODELIST
- The name of the nodePARTITION
- The partition which the node belongs toCPUS (A/I/O/T)
- Enumerates what CPUs are Allocated/Idle/Other/Total # of CPUSCPU_LOAD
- The load on the CPUFREE_MEM
- The amount of free RAM on the nodeMEMORY
- The total amount of RAM on the nodeSTATE
- the state of the node. Idle means it's not in use, mixed means it's in use but still has resources available, drained means it's fully in use.
