Allocations

Tools > Allocations... in the Organizer lists each cluster account you have set up and how much of it is used. The figure is for the account as a whole, over all jobs charged to it. It is not what one calculation used; that is the Used row of the calculation's summary.

What the window shows

One row for each machine and account. The accounts come from the machine's profiles (see Allocation profiles); a machine appears if it has an Allocation command, set on the Connection tab of Register Machines, or if its queue manager has a default one (Slurm). Workstations and machines that ECCE does not connect to are not listed.

Column Meaning
Machine The machine as registered in ECCE.
Account The account of the profile.
Used The usage, as the cluster reports it.
Checked The time of day the cluster was asked.

Refresh asks the clusters again. Without it, an answer is kept for 15 minutes. Close closes the window; it can be resized.

What Used says

  • 4.9 % of 5 000 CPU-h/month used (past 30 days); 3.1 % of 100 GPU-h/month: the output of projinfo, as at HPC2N and other NAISS centres. The percentages are of the monthly allocations over the past 30 days.
  • 1 235 CPU-h used (no allocation size known): the Slurm default. ECCE asks sshare for the account's usage, which is a total with no allocation size, so no percentage can be given.
  • not recognised: the command ran but ECCE could not read its output. Hold the pointer over the row to see the line of output that names the account. A site's own command can be set in Allocation command; ECCE reads projinfo and Slurm's sshare output.
  • not checked: not logged in to <machine>: ECCE reads allocations only over a connection that is already open, and never asks for a password for it. Connect to the machine first (for example by launching a job on it), then choose Refresh.
  • checking...: the answer is on its way. The window can be used meanwhile.
