Funk

(F)ind yo(U)r (N)odes on g5(K) is a tool that help you to plan your experiments on Grid'5000. It is a Python script based on Execo that: give you the number of nodes available at a date and for walltime find the slots for a combination of resources and a walltime find the slot with the maximum number of nodes for a period and a walltime. Some basic examples can be found here. Projet source, issue and feature requests can be found here.

Running the tool

Inside Grid'5000

frontend:

$ funk -h

See below for options descriptions.

Outside Grid'5000

You need to install execo 2.2 and configure it for Grid'5000 Once it is done, you can clone the repository with:

 git clone https://github.com/lpouillo/Funk.git

and run the script.

Usages

Number of nodes availables for 2 hours at run time, on sites nancy, reims and on clusters paradent and suno

frontend:

funk -m date -r nancy,reims,paradent,suno -w 2:00:00

When 40 nodes on sagittaire and 4 nodes on taurus will be available, with deploy job type and a subnet

frontend:

funk -m free -r sagittaire:40,taurus:4 -o "-t deploy" -n slash_22=2

Find the time when the maximum number of nodes are available during 10 hours, before next week deadline, avoiding charter periods, not using helios and with classic ssh access

frontend:

funk -m max -w 10:00:00 -e "2013-12-31 23:59:59" -c -b helios -o "-t allow_classic_ssh"

 -b BLACKLIST, --blacklist BLACKLIST
                       Remove clusters from planning computation
 -R RATIO, --ratio RATIO
                       Apply a given ratio to the resources found, works only for mode date and max
 -o SUBMISSION_OPTS, --oargridsub_opts SUBMISSION_OPTS

 --no-oargrid          Don't use oargridsub and perform parallel oar reservations
 --force-oargrid       Force the usage of oargrisub, even if there only one site involved
