Using jobstats on Discovery Cluster

Summary

Jobstats Usage

Body

Jobstats is a reporting tool that shows how efficiently your Slurm jobs used cluster resources. It summarizes CPU usage, memory consumption, GPU utilization, and overall job efficiency so you can improve future resource requests.

How to use Jobstats

1. Submit your job using sbatch

2. After the job completes, run Jobstats with your job ID: jobstats <jobid>

Jobstats will report key metrics such as:
CPU efficiency
Memory usage 
GPU utilization (if applicable)
Wall time vs. requested time
Node used

This enables you to check whether CPU, memory, or GPU resources were over-provisioned, whether wall-time was under-requested, or whether the allocated hardware was utilized at an optimal efficiency level.Uploaded Image (Thumbnail)
