Grace

Grace

Grace is a shared-use resource for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). It consists of a variety of compute nodes networked over low-latency InfiniBand and mounts several shared filesystems.

The Grace cluster is is named for the computer scientist and United States Navy Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, who received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale in 1934.


Operating System Upgrade

During the August 2023 maintenance, the operating system on Grace was upgraded from Red Hat 7 to Red Hat 8. For more information, see our Grace Operating System Upgrade page.

Access the Cluster

Once you have an account, the cluster can be accessed via ssh or through the Open OnDemand web portal.

System Status and Monitoring

For system status messages and the schedule for upcoming maintenance, please see the system status page. For a current node-level view of job activity, see the cluster monitor page (VPN only).

Partitions and Hardware

Grace is made up of several kinds of compute nodes. We group them into (sometimes overlapping) Slurm partitions meant to serve different purposes. By combining the --partition and --constraint Slurm options you can more finely control what nodes your jobs can run on.

Job Submission Limits

  • You are limited to 4 interactive app instances (of any type) at one time. Additional instances will be rejected until you delete older open instances. For OnDemand jobs, closing the window does not terminate the interactive app job. To terminate the job, click the "Delete" button in your "My Interactive Apps" page in the web portal.

  • Job submissions are limited to 200 jobs per hour. See the Rate Limits section in the Common Job Failures page for more info.

Public Partitions

See each tab below for more information about the available common use partitions.

Use the day partition for most batch jobs. This is the default if you don't specify one with --partition.

Private Partitions

With few exceptions, jobs submitted to private partitions are not considered when calculating your group's Fairshare. Your group can purchase additional hardware for private use, which we will make available as a pi_groupname partition. These nodes are purchased by you, but supported and administered by us. After vendor support expires, we retire compute nodes. Compute nodes can range from $10K to upwards of $50K depending on your requirements. If you are interested in purchasing nodes for your group, please contact us.

Storage

Grace has access to a number of filesystems. /vast/palmer hosts Grace's home and scratch directories and /gpfs/gibbs hosts project directories and most additional purchased storage allocations. For more details on the different storage spaces, see our Cluster Storage documentation.

You can check your current storage usage & limits by running the getquota command. Your ~/project and ~/palmer_scratch directories are shortcuts. Get a list of the absolute paths to your directories with the mydirectories command. If you want to share data in your Project or Scratch directory, see the permissions page.
