#SLURM

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

At the risk of doing unpaid marketing for them, interesting to see that #IrnBru (a fizzy drink from #Scotland, one of very few countries in the world where a local drink outsells Big Cola) currently has a #NessieNectar flavour (vaguely fruity, less iron-y/ferric than normal). Hopefully no loch monsters were harmed or used in its production? #Slurm

#rstats future_map in #furrr on #slurm has stopped being my friend ... multicore or multisession, both take way longer than normal - tested on small sets with 6 cores, smallish sets with 24, and the real job with 128 cores

parallel::parLapply works fine in the small or all 128 cores

any ideas?

Continued thread

On Linux, Slurm is also a command-line network monitoring tool in real time. This tool lets you monitor traffic on your network and display the statistics with an ASCII graph. Three different types of graphs are available on this tool.

@K_REY_C @doctormo As I read this I was literally just on a work call where somebody suggested that if our company were to financially support open source development that our employees would contribute to #foss and could design a gui for #slurm that could rival the gui for #jenkins

I laughed out loud.

The #payforfreesoftware can't just be about individuals donating coffee to github projects. If it does not incentivize corporate middle managers to pay for free software the needle won't move.

#Bioinformatics question: does #snakemake actually do anything that can't be done with a well-structured #bash script? Or, in my case, with a single #emacs #orgmode file that contains all my scripts, #slurm submissions and #rstats analysis, interleaved with discussion and links to sources?

Our #HPC cluster folks seem to think #snakemake is 'next level' for reproducibility, but I'm starting to think that's because they don't realize how much you can do with existing tools like Bash and Emacs.

@johnzajac Exactly the reason I snapped at a moron that invaded my space as I was refilling my #Slurm the other day at the convenience store. My only regret is there were a couple of kids in the store that heard me calling him an f-ing moron.

If anyone is interested in testing a backport of #SLURM 23.02 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I published a PPA yesterday that contains the necessary Debian packages (I had to backport rocm-smi-lib too):

```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-hpc/slurm-wlm-23.02
sudo apt install <slurm package>
```

I'm keen on making sure that it works for other people too and not just me 😅
