Module Contents

class seisflows.system.lsf.Lsf

Bases: seisflows.system.cluster.Cluster

An interface through which to submit workflows, run tasks in serial or parallel, and perform other system functions.

By hiding environment details behind a python interface layer, these classes provide a consistent command set across different computing environments.

Intermediate files are written to a global scratch path self.path.SCRATCH, which must be accessible to all compute nodes.

Optionally, users can provide a local scratch path self.path.LOCAL if each compute node has its own local filesystem.

manual.html#system-configuration

submit(submit_call=None)

Submits workflow using ‘bsub’ arguments

run(classname, method, single=False, run_call=None, **kwargs)

Runs task multiple times in embarrassingly parallel fasion on the maui cluster

Executes classname.method(*args, **kwargs) NTASK times, each time on NPROC CPU cores

Parameters:

  • classname (str) – the class to run

  • method (str) – the method from the given classname to run

taskid()

Provides a unique identifier for each running task

checkpoint(path, classname, method, kwargs)

Inherits from workflow.system.workstation.Workstation

_check_job_status(job_ids)

Queries completion status of a single job

TODO this function is mangled, needs to be rewritten

Parameters:

job (str) – job id to query

_job_id_list(stdout, single)

Parses job id list from LSF standard output

Parameters:

  • stdout (str) – the output of subprocess.check_output()

  • single (bool) – if running a single process job, returns a list of length 1 with a single job id, else returns a list of length self.par.NTASK for all arrayed jobs

Return type:

list

Returns:

a list of array jobs that should be currently running

_query(jobid)

Retrives job state from LSF database

Parameters:

jobid (str) – job id to query LSF system about
