Submitting jobs For GPU computing

The following is applicable for subtomogram averaging projects setup to be run in the "gpu_standalone" mode under computing environment.

Once your project is unfolded, you should have an executable file

wizardTestProject.exe

The EMBL-HD cluster uses slurm for job submission and resource allocation.

To run this project as a job on their computing resources, we should first set up a submission script, here is an example

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -N 1                        # number of nodes
#SBATCH -n 1                        # number of cores
#SBATCH -o slurm.%N.%j.out          # STDOUT
#SBATCH -e slurm.%N.%j.err          # STDERR
#SBATCH --mail-type=END,FAIL        # notifications for job done & fail
#SBATCH --mail-user=alisterburt@gmail.com # send-to address
#SBATCH -p gpu						# select gpu usage
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:1				# number of gpus (if using gpus)


module load dynamo
./wizardTestProject.exe

Save this text file in the same directory as the executable file, then submit the job using sbatch

sbatch dynamo_test.sl 

This should then confirm that the job has been submitted
