Running a job on BEDE

By: Henry Oldroyd

Step 1: Login to BEDE by SSH

Enter the password for your machine account as the first factor and then multi-factor authentication as the second factor

PS C:\Users\henry> ssh login1.bede.dur.ac.uk
(henryoldroyd@login1.bede.dur.ac.uk) First Factor:
(henryoldroyd@login1.bede.dur.ac.uk) Second Factor:

                              ============

[henryoldroyd@login1.bede ~]$

Step 2:

Make a job file based on the SLURM syntax:

[henryoldroyd@login1.bede ~]$ cat job.com
#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --account=bdlan09
#SBATCH --TIME=10:0

echo "echo job on bede"
[henryoldroyd@login1.bede ~]$

Step 3: Make a login session by providing the project code

ghlogin -A bdlan09

Step 4: Run the job with srun This seems like it should be a simple but I have been having repeated issues with the submitted job not running

[henryoldroyd@login2.bede ~]$ ghlogin -A bdlan09
srun: job 839128 queued and waiting for resources
srun: job 839128 has been allocated resources
[henryoldroyd@gh001.bede ~]$ ls
hello.py  job.com
[henryoldroyd@gh001.bede ~]$ srun job.com
srun: Job 839128 step creation temporarily disabled, retrying (Requested nodes are busy)
srun: Job 839128 step creation still disabled, retrying (Requested nodes are busy)
srun: Job 839128 step creation still disabled, retrying (Requested nodes are busy)
