High Performance Computing Service

This page is a work in progress!

I'm just using it as a repository for helpful hints that I've found useful! Kirstie x --kw401 12:43, 18 May 2013 (BST) If you have many jobs that are very similar and, importantly, independent then you can use the High Performance Computing Service [[1]]. The website is helpful, but here are a few commands that I think supplement their FAQs:

If you want to see all the jobs you've submitted

As you may guess, qstat gives you some statistics on the queues. To look for just your jobs type:

qstat -u <user_id> eg: qstat -u kw401

If you want to delete all the jobs you've submitted

To just get the job IDs you need to use qselect:

qselect -u <user_id> | xargs qdel eg: qselect -u kw401 | xargs qdel

(type man xargs if you want to know more about this terribly useful command!)
