Accounting

Every user of IDUN has at least one allocation account. These accounts are used to keep track of the consumed resources, such as CPU days or memory, and should be specified at every job submission using the -A or --account flag:

#!/bin/sh
#SBATCH --account=<account>
...

The account is then debited with the consumed resources after a job finished. If no account is specified at job submission, then a user's default account is used.

How can I find my accounts?

$ sacctmgr show assoc where user=USERNAME format=account%25
                  Account 
------------------------- 
                   my-dep 
             share-my-dep 

What is my default account?

$ sacctmgr show user USERNAME format=defaultaccount
       Def Acct 
--------------- 
   share-my-dep

Account Types

Most users have access to more than one group account.

Group accounts that start with share-* are high-priority accounts. And created for IDUN shareholders. We recommend using share-* accounts if you have it.

Accounts without share-* at the beginning of the name have normal job priority. They exist for two purposes:

  • group account created for non-shareholders.
  • group account created for job submissions with low priority.

Every group account has CPU hours quota limits per month. Once these CPU hours are consumed, then no job can be submitted with this account until the account is reset. CPU hours reset at beginning of every month.

How can I see account quotas and consumption?

Use command idun-slurm-quota:

# idun-slurm-quota
Account               Quota(hours)  CPU(hours)  A100(hours) H100(hours) P100(hours) V100(hours) Cost(kr)
