Matlab on ADAPT
The NCCS does not provide access to Matlab on the ADAPT nodes. The freeware package, Octave, is available. If users have Matlab licenses that they wish to have installed in ADAPT, we ask users to consider the following: Individual License (also known as Node Locked) Pros Cons Lowest cost to the user Locked to a…

Slurm on ADAPT
In order to fairly distribute user jobs across shared resources, some of our VM clusters on ADAPT are equipped with Slurm. With Slurm, users can run both interactive and non-interactive jobs on specified resources without having to worry about interference from other user workloads. When resources aren’t readily available, Slurm also will queue your jobs…

Policeme
Policeme provides utility to monitor/record memory used by processes running on each compute node of a slurm job. The program generates information in XML format files which can then be post-processed, using supplied python script, to generate PNG format files. The latest version of policeme 1.0.7 is located on the Discover cluster in the following…

Memory Monitoring
The following methods allows user to monitor memory in a dynamic range of requirements: Monitor Interactive Jobs Slurm provides a special kind of batch job called interactive-batch. An interactive-batch job is treated just like a regular batch job (in that it is queued up, and has to wait for resources to become available before it…

Storage Analysis Tools
There are a couple utilities embedded within the Discover cluster to allow users to understand their storage on the system to prevent themselves from overwriting and halting their programs from running, due to storage shortages. If you would like to expand your storage space, please contact NCCS Support with your username, project, and a reason on why…
