2.3.5.4 Submitting a Batch Job or Job Script

Submitting batch jobs is discussed in detail in Section 7.4.6. The

bsub

command format to

submit a batch job or job script is:

bsub -n num-procs [bsub-options] script-name

The

-n

num-procs option specifies the number of processors the job requests. The

-n

num-procs is required for parallel jobs.

The

script-name

argument is the name of the batch job or script. The script can contain

one or more

srun

or

mpirun

commands.

The script will execute once on the first allocated node, and the

srun

or

mpirun

commands

within the script will be run on the allocated compute nodes.

Consider an HP XC configuration where

lsfhost.localdomain

is the LSF execution host

and nodes

n[1-10]

are compute nodes in the LSF partition. All nodes contain 2 processors,

providing 20 processors for use by LSF jobs.

In this example, the following simple script

myjobscript.sh

is launched. Two

srun

commands are specified within the script.

Example 2-6: Submitting a Job Script

#!/bin/sh

srun hostname

mpirun -srun hellompi

The following command submits this script:

$ bsub -I -n4 myjobscript.sh

The

-n4

option specifies that four processors are required. The

-I

option specifies that the job

is interactive and directs output to the terminal screen. The following output is displayed:

Job <29> is submitted to default queue .
