QueueWorkerResources

class propertyestimator.backends.QueueWorkerResources(number_of_threads=1, number_of_gpus=0, preferred_gpu_toolkit=None, per_thread_memory_limit=<Quantity(1, 'gigabyte')>, wallclock_time_limit='01:00')

An extended resource object with properties specific to calculations which will run on queue based resources, such as LSF, PBS or SLURM.

__init__(number_of_threads=1, number_of_gpus=0, preferred_gpu_toolkit=None, per_thread_memory_limit=<Quantity(1, 'gigabyte')>, wallclock_time_limit='01:00')

Constructs a new ComputeResources object.

Notes

Both the requested number_of_threads and the number_of_gpus must be less than or equal to the number of threads (/cpus/cores) and GPUs available to each compute node in the cluster respectively, such that a single worker is able to be accommodated by a single compute node.

Parameters

• per_thread_memory_limit (simtk.Quantity) – The maximum amount of memory available to each thread.

• wallclock_time_limit (str) – The maximum amount of wall clock time that a worker can run for. This should be a string of the form HH:MM where HH is the number of hours and MM the number of minutes

Methods

__init__([number_of_threads, …])

Constructs a new ComputeResources object.

Attributes

gpu_device_indices	The indices of the GPUs to run on.
number_of_gpus	The number of GPUs available to a calculation worker.
number_of_threads	The number of threads available to a calculation worker.
per_thread_memory_limit	The maximum amount of memory available to each thread, such that the total memory limit will be per_cpu_memory_limit * number_of_threads.
preferred_gpu_toolkit	The preferred toolkit to use when running on GPUs.
wallclock_time_limit	The maximum amount of wall clock time that a worker can run for.
