Deprecated content: Available SLURM clusters and features

Under Construction

The Linux Cluster documentation is work in progress and will be updated incrementally!

This page will be deleted soon!


Available SLURM clusters

ClusterParallel resources  (Deprecated content: Resource limits for parallel jobs on Linux Cluster)
cm2

MPI or shared memory programs on the MPP FDR14 Infiniband cluster "CooLMUC-2"

mpp3

MPI or shared memory programs on the KNL Omnipath cluster "Decommisioned CoolMUC-3".
Note that interactive testing is dispatched to a subset of 8 nodes in the same cluster.
interInteractive parallel jobs. Which of the clusters is used depends on the login node.


Serial resources (Deprecated content: Resource limits for serial jobs on Linux Cluster)
serial

For serial job processing. 

inter

Interactive or batch shared memory jobs for high memory requirements (beyond 1 TByte) are executed on teramem1.

Further clusters exist in the multi-cluster environment. These however are dedicated for cluster housing projects, and not publically available.

Mail Notifications

All cluster systems permit to include a mail address into SLURM batch scripts for notification about certain job states (typically, job start and/or job end).

Please note that any mailing request is obliged to include a valid email address
If you request an email to an invalid or non-existing email address LRZ staff will revoke your job submission rights, as a defensive measure against a denial of service attack on the LRZ mail hub.

Mail configuration in Slurm job script

Add the following lines to the Slurm header of the job script (cp. the basic job script at Running parallel jobs on the Linux-Cluster):

#SBATCH --mail-type=end

Send an e-mail at job completion

If you don't want to receive an email notification please remove this line from the job script!

#SBATCH --mail-user=<email_address>@<domain>(Placeholder) e-mail address (don't forget, and please enter a valid address!)

Please refer to https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html to learn more about mail notification.
