Information for Project Members (PMs)
This text informs you about how to join and contribute to a hpc project.
A project ID with a name similar to abcd4321 will be created for your project and communicated to technical contact (TC) and principal investigator (PI).
1. Get an HPC-Account
You need an HPC-Account in order to log in on the HPC Cluster and to submit batch jobs. If you do not have yet such a personal HPC account please get one, if in doubt please contact the IT-ServiceDesk.
The user-ID of that account will in most cases be identical to the IdM-ID.
2. Add the User-ID to the Project-Account
For this step the technical contact person (TC) must know your user-ID. Then he has to add your user-ID to the project as described here.
Please note that a newly-added user has to be registered in the batch system before they can submit jobs. This process is run nightly, which means that the user cannot submit jobs via a project until the day after they were added.
3. Using the project
All batch jobs submitted as part of the project have to be explicitly associated with the project group abcd4321 by inserting the following line in the job scripts.
#SBATCH --account=abcd4321 |
The actual amount of resources used can be obtained at any time in the duration of the project with the following command.
r_wlm_usage -p abcd4321 |
To get information about the quota of the project, one can use the following command:
r_wlm_usage -p abcd4321 -q |
- Additional information regarding r_wlm_usage can be found here.
