SlurmUI

Enhanced command-line UI to ease working with slurm. Written in Python, derived from SlurmUI.

Viewing and managing

• GPUs
• Jobs in the history
• Jobs in the queue
• Logs for current and past jobs

Install and run

pip install -U git+https://github.com/ShenhanQian/slurmui.git
slurmui

Optional arguments:

• -i update interval in seconds. (10 by default. Set to 0 to disable).
• -v verbose mode (printing info and error to the info panel).
• -r time range of history jobs to load (1 week by default))
• -c cluster name (deprecated as the latest version of SlurmUI does not have cluster-specific configuration).

Basics

Under the interface of SlurmUI we rely on three basic slurm commands:

• sinfo for information of nodes, GPUs, etc.
• squeue for current jobs in the queue
• sacct for history jobs

Make sure you can get meaningful output from these commands on your cluster before trying SlurmUI.

To debug, you could srun slurmui with -i 0 to disable auto update and -v to force verbose logging. Then, you will see the full commands that slurmui sends to slurm in the info panel.

Supported Clusters

• TUM CVG
• TUM VCG
• LRZ AI

Note

If SlurmUI does not work on your cluster, try the debugging suggestions in Basics and feel free to open an issue.
