Interactive jobs

In addition to running sbatch scripts, you may allocate resources and run jobs interactively.

To do this:

• Spawn an interactive job with the right resources:

  biokem-interactive -c <# of cpus> -g <# of gpus> -m <# of GB of memory> -x <additional sbatch arguments>
  

  For example, if you wanted to run IMOD interactively with a GPU, you might use something like this:

  biokem-interactive -c 8 -g 1 -m 64
  

• Once the interactive job is spawned, your terminal will be taken to a compute node where you can compute as you would on a local workstation.

• You must keep the ternminal alive during your interactive job (make sure you spawned your OpenOnDemand session for a long enough period).

• Make sure to end the job using the exit command when your job is complete to free up resources for others.
