Submission of a batch request

For a batch request submission, the qsub command is used.

% qsub [job script name]

Execution example

Request 12345.cmc submitted to queue: ACE.

The above example is the output when a batch request is submitted.
The received request was assigned a request ID. In the example, the ID is 12345.cmc.

Status check of a batch request

Right after a batch request is received, the batch request goes into "QUE" status .
When the batch is registered and scheduled onto the scheduler map, the batch request goes into .
When a computation starts, the status of it becomes "RUN"（execution）status.

 
The following commands can check the status of your batch request.

qstat command

This command shows the status of your submitted batch requests.

% qstat

Output example

RequestID ReqName UserName Queue Pri STT S Memory CPU Elapse R H M Jobs
----------- -------- -------- -------- ---- --- - -------- -------- -------- - - - ----
53678.cmc AAA.nqs User_A F4S 0 RUN - 617.29M 79997.28 80254 Y Y Y 1
53720.cmc BBB.nqs User_B F4L 0 QUE - 0.00B 0 0 Y Y Y 1

The display information from qstat is as follows.

RequestID：request ID number

This is the number assigned to submitted batch request.

ReqName：batch request name

The name of the batch request is shown.

UserName: user name

Queue：queue where batch request is located

The name of the queue displayed here is "Execution Queue".
As to "Execution queue", see the job class tables below:
Job class table

Pri：Priority of batch request

STT：Status of batch request

QUE queued：Waiting for execution
RUN running：Running computation
POR post-running：Waiting for termination of sleep request
PRR pre-running：Waiting for execution of sleep request
EXT exiting：Moving computation result file (inc. staging out)
STG staging：Generating batch job or moving input file(stage in)
HLD held：pending
HOL holding：requesting for pending
WAT waiting：Waiting for scheduled time
SUS suspending,suspended,resuming：Requesting suspension/Suspended/Resuming
TRS transferring：Transferring from transfer queue
ARI arriving：Receiving from transfer queue
MIG migrating：Migrating request
RST restarting：Restarting from check point
CHK checkpointing：Checkpointing

S：stall status

Y stall

ReqName：name of batch request

This is the name of the batch request.

UserName：user name

Queue：the name of the queue where the batch request is located

The name of queue displayed here is the "Execution Queue".
For the"Execution queue", see the job class tables below:
Job class table

Pri：priority of batch request

STT：status of batch request

QUE QUEUED：Waiting for execution
RUN RUNNING：Running computation
ASG ASSIGNED：Computational resource is assigned
POR POST-RUNNING：Waiting for termination of sleep request
PRR PRE-RUNNING：Waiting for execution of sleep request
EXT EXITING：Moving computation result file (inc. staging out)
STG STAGING：Generating batch job or moving input file(stage in)
HLD HELD：pending
HOL HOLDING：requesting for pending
WAT WAITING：Waiting for scheduled time
SUS SUSPENDING,SUSPENDED,RESUMING：Requesting suspension/Suspended/Resuming
TRS TRANSFERRING：Transferring from transfer queue
ARI ARRIVING：Receiving from transfer queue
MIG MIGRATING：Migrating request
RST RESTARTING：Restarting from check point
CHK CHECKPOINTING：Checkpointing

PlannedStartTime：planned time for starting computation

When "STT：status of batch request" becomes "ASG"、PlannedStartTime can be displayed.
 
 

sstatgroup command

This command shows the scheduling status of batch requests submitted by group members.
(In the case of the HPCI user, this shows the scheduling status of batch requests submitted by HPCI project members.)

% sstatgroup
