Example Jobscripts
Distributed Memory Parallel Processing
This is an example for an Abaqus 2019 job on 2 nodes with 40 tasks, each.
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH -t 00:10:00 #SBATCH --nodes=2 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=40 #SBATCH -p medium #SBATCH --mail-type=ALL #SBATCH --job-name=abaqus.c2 module load abaqus/2019 # host list: echo "SLURM_NODELIST: $SLURM_NODELIST" create_abaqus_hostlist_for_slurm ### ABAQUS parallel execution abq2019 analysis job=c2 cpus=${SLURM_NTASKS} standard_parallel=all mp_mode=mpi interactive double echo '#################### ABAQUS finished ############'
Single Node Processing
Abaqus 2016 and 2017 do not run on more than one node
This is an example for an Abaqus 2016 single-node job with 40 tasks.
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH -t 00:10:00 #SBATCH --nodes=1 ## 2016 and 2017 do not run on more than one node #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=40 #SBATCH -p medium #SBATCH --mail-type=ALL #SBATCH --job-name=abaqus.c2 module load abaqus/2019 # host list: echo "SLURM_NODELIST: $SLURM_NODELIST" create_abaqus_hostlist_for_slurm ### ABAQUS parallel execution abq2016 analysis job=c2 cpus=${SLURM_NTASKS} standard_parallel=all mp_mode=mpi interactive double echo '#################### ABAQUS finished ############'
