Pre-Emptible Jobs and Checkpointing

Brought to you by the SDSS Center for Computation

In today's workshop we are going to cover:

• Checkpointing in Pytorch
• Pre-Emptible jobs in owners
• How to restart gracefully

Today's Tutorial Agenda:

1. Learn about Checkpointing, Pre-Emptibility, and Restartable Code
2. Login to Sherlock
3. Submit a pre-emptible job to the owners queue
4. Review the job and monitor checkpoints
5. Pre-empt your own job and watch it requeue
