[Iplant-api-dev] Maximum number of jobs allowed on Stampede

[Rion Dooley]

This is a bit of a loaded question…The short answer is that you can submit as many as you want, but if you are using the Agave's public execution system, https://agave.iplantc.org/systems/v2/stampede.tacc.utexas.edu,<https://agave.iplantc.org/systems/v2/stampede.tacc.utexas.edu> at most 5 of your jobs will run concurrently in the normal queue at any given moment. The rest will be queued up by Agave and process as your running jobs complete. You can work around that by registering your account on Stampede as an execution system and setting the maxUserJobs field on your queue definition to 50. That will let you submit as many jobs as you like and run at most 50 jobs concurrently (which is all Stampede’s scheduler will allow you to do anyway).

You can read more about system registration, batch queues, and quotas on the developer site:

Hi,

What's the maximum number of jobs that can be submitted to Stampede simultaneously via AGAVE API?

I see that I can submit max 50 jobs (to "normal" queue) using SLRUM scripts from the stampede shell.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks
Abhi
