==Usage Policy==
 
−
===Interactive Use===
 
  
−
If you need interactive access to a gpu for development and testing you may do so by requesting an interactive session through the batch system.
+
===Environment===
−
 
+
For CUDA development please load the "cuda" module.  Doing so will ensure that your environment is set up correctly for the use of the CUDA compiler, header files, and libraries. The cuda versions below are currently supported on hipergator.  
−
In order to gain interactive access to a GPU server you should run similar to the one that follows.  
+
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:70%; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid gray;">
−
====Under SLURM====
+
''Expand to view example of loading/using cuda.''
−
 
+
<div class="mw-collapsible-content" style="padding: 5px;">
−
To access 1 GPU for default 10 minutes session:
 
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
srun -p hpg1-gpu --pty -u bash -i
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
OR
 
−
<pre>
 
−
srun -p hpg2-gpu --pty -u bash -i
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
To access  2 Tesla GPUs on one node for 1 hour session:
 
−
 
−
<pre>
 
−
srun -p hpg1-gpu --gres=gpu:tesla:2 --time=01:00:00  --pty -u bash -i 
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
OR
 
−
<pre>
 
−
srun -p hpg2-gpu --gres=gpu:tesla:2 --time=01:00:00  --pty -u bash -i 
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
====Under Torque/Moab====
 
−
To access one tesla GPU for 10 minute default session:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=1:gpus=1:tesla,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
To access two GPUs on one node for 1 hour session:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=1:gpus=2,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
If you need two gpus in two separate hosts, you would request
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=2:gpus=1,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
If a gpu is available, you will get a prompt on a gpu-enabled host within a minute or two.  Otherwise, you will have to wait or try another time.  If you choose to wait, you will be connected when a gpu is available.    The default walltime limit for the gpu queue is 10 minutes.  You should request the amount of time you need but be sure to log out and end your session when you are finished so that the GPU will be available to others.
 
−
 
−
===Batch Jobs===
 
−
 
−
For batch jobs, to access a host with Tesla GPUs, you can add the following to your submission script.
 
−
 
−
Under SLURM:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
#SBATCH --partition=hpg1-gpu
 
−
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:tesla:2
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
OR
 
−
<pre>
 
−
#SBATCH --partition=hpg2-gpu
 
−
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:tesla:2
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
 
−
Under Torque/Moab
 
−
<pre>
 
−
#PBS -q gpu
 
−
#PBS -l nodes=1:gpus=1:m2090
 
−
#PBS -l walltime=1:00:00
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
−
===Exclusive Mode===
 
−
The GPUs are configured to run in '''exclusive''' mode.  This means that the gpu driver will only allow one process at a time to access the GPU.  If GPU 0 is in use and your application tries to use it, it will simply block.  If your application does not call cudaSetDevice(), the CUDA runtime should assign it to a free GPU.  Since everyone will be accessing the GPUs through the batch system, there should be no over-subscription of the GPUs.
 
−
 
−
==Environment==
 
−
For CUDA development please load the "cuda" module.  Doing so will ensure that your environment is set up correctly for the use of the CUDA compiler, header files, and libraries.
