Topic: "Exploring Compute Usage from User Facing Portals on the National Clusters"Speaker: James Desjardins, SHARCNETVideo link --- Previous seminars in this series have described using Python tools to explore job properties and usage characteristics on the Digital Research Alliance of Canada general purpose compute clusters. The end goal of exploring job properties and usage characteristics is to get the most out of the resources available to research accounts and to minimize wait times in the job queue. This seminar reviews important properties of the scheduling configuration that may impact research throughput, then demonstrates how portals can help explore the relevant properties of research account compute usage on the clusters.---The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
