ARCHIVED: Specify the required parallel file system for a batch job on an IU research supercomputer

The Slate and Slate-Project high-performance file systems are mounted on the research supercomputers at Indiana University. To specify one of these file systems as a requirement for your batch job running on a system using the TORQUE resource manager, indicate it in the nodes directive of your TORQUE job script.

For example, if your job requires four nodes, two processors per node:

File system Example
Slate #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=2:slate
Slate-Project #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=2:project

Specifying a file system in your script directs TORQUE to dispatch your job to only those compute nodes with that file system mounted.
