How to submit a job to Colfax HPC Cluster Nodes - Option 1 (direct command)

Intel Colfax Cluster - Notes - Index Page


Example 1 - run generic command

Say we would like to submit the command lscpu to run on a HPC cluster node, we can do it like this:

[u4443@c001 lec-01]$ echo lscpu | qsub
21084.c001

Job ID 20184 is now submitted to run on the cluster. Do a cat STDIN.o21084 (in the directory where we run the command) to see output:

[u4443@c001 lec-01]$ cat STDIN.o21084

[u4443@c001 lec-01]$

Note that Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) CPU 7210 is a Knights Landing (knl) processor.

To see error, simply do cat STDIN.e21084.

Example 2 - run a user directory binary

To run a user specific binary (e.g. a compiled C++ code hello), process is similar. Just make sure we specify the full path to the binary:

[u4443@c001]$ echo /path/to/binary/hello | qsub
