Pegasus Projects & Resources¶
Access to IDSC Advanced Computing resources is managed on a project basis. This allows us to better support interaction between teams (including data sharing) at the University of Miami regardless of group, school, or campus. Project-based resource allocation also gives researchers the ability to request resources for short-term work. Any University of Miami faculty member or Principal Investigator (PI) can request a new project. All members of a project share that project’s resource allocations.
To join a project, contact the project owner. PIs and faculty, request new IDSC Projects here (https://idsc.miami.edu/project_request)
Using projects in computing jobs¶
To run jobs using your project’s resources, submit jobs with your
assigned projectID
using the -P
argument to bsub
:
bsub -P projectID
. For more information about LSF and job
scheduling, see Scheduling Jobs on Pegasus.
For example, if you were assigned the project id “abc”, a batch submission from the command line would look like:
$ bsub -P abc < JOB_SCRIPT_NAME
and an interactive submission from the command line would look like:
$ bsub -P abc -Is -q interactive -XF command
When your job has been submitted successfully, the project and queue information will be printed on the screen.
Job is submitted to <abc> project.
Job <11234> is submitted to default queue <general>.
The cluster scheduler will only accept job submissions to active projects. The IDSC user must be a current member of that project.
