List nodes and their features
$ pbsnodes
Run an interactive job on a node with 4 RTX 2080 GPUs, 8 CPUs, 90GB of RAM, for 2 hours
$ qsub -l ngpus=4 -l ncpus=8 -l mem=90G -l gputype=RTX2080 -l walltime=02:00:00 -I
Alternatively this can be compressed into
$ qsub -l ngpus=4:ncpus=8:mem=90G:gputype=RTX2080:walltime=02:00:00 -I
The -I flag indicates the interactive aspect of the job.
Cancel a job
$ qdel -p <job-id>
List information on queues
$ qstat
List current jobs owned by $USER
$ qstat -u $USER
Mail notifications can be enabled through the -m toggle which takes one of the following options:
n- No mail will be sent.a- Mail is sent when the job is aborted by the batch system.b- Mail is sent when the job begins execution.e- Mail is sent when the job terminates.j- Mail is sent also for subjobs of an array job. Option "j" must be combined with "a", "b", or "e".
The mail user is specified via -M <email-address>. Alternatively setting $PBS_O_MAIL to
<email-address> and omitting the flag has the same effect.
Jobs can be given names through -N <name>.
If you want to export variables from the current environment to the job, pass the -V flag which passes
all current environment variables to the job's environment.
If you want to run one job after another, you can use the depend additional attribute, e.g.
$ qsub -W depend=afterok:<first-job-id> -l ncpus=8:ngpus=4:mem=90G:walltime=02:00:00 job-script.sh
