rex.utilities.hpc.PBS

class PBS(user=None, queue_dict=None)[source]

Bases: HpcJobManager

Subclass for PBS subprocess jobs.

Parameters:

`make_sh`(fname, script)	Make a shell script (.sh file) to execute a subprocess.
`parse_queue_str`(queue_str[, keys])	Parse the qstat or squeue output string into a dict format keyed by integer job id with nested dictionary of job properties (queue printout columns).
`qsub`(cmd, alloc, queue[, name, feature, ...])	Submit a PBS job via qsub command and PBS shell script
`query_queue`([job_name, user, qformat, skip_rows])	Run the PBS qstat command and return the raw stdout string.
`rm`(fname)	Remove a file.
`s`(s)	Format input as str w/ appropriate quote types for python cli entry.
`submit`(cmd[, background, background_stdout])	Open a subprocess and submit a command.

classmethod query_queue(job_name=None, user=None, qformat=None, skip_rows=None)[source]

Run the PBS qstat command and return the raw stdout string.

Parameters:

job_name (str | None) – Optional to check the squeue for a specific job name (not limited to the 8 shown characters) or None to show user’s whole queue.
user (str | None) – HPC username. None will get your username using getpass.getuser()
qformat (str | None) – Queue format string specification. Changing this form the default (None) could have adverse effects!
skip_rows (int | list | None) – Optional row index values to skip.

Returns:

stdout (str) – qstat output string. Can be split on line breaks to get list.

property queue

Get the HPC queue parsed into dict format keyed by integer job id

Returns:: queue (dict) – HPC queue parsed into dictionary format keyed by integer job id with nested dictionary of job properties (queue printout columns).

qsub(cmd, alloc, queue, name='reV', feature=None, stdout_path='./stdout', keep_sh=False)[source]

Submit a PBS job via qsub command and PBS shell script

Parameters:

cmd (str) –

Command to be submitted in PBS shell script. Example:
‘python -m reV.generation.cli_gen’
alloc (str) – HPC allocation account. Example: ‘rev’.
queue (str) – HPC queue to submit job to. Example: ‘short’, ‘batch-h’, etc…
name (str) – PBS job name.
feature (str | None) – PBS feature request (-l {feature}). Example: ‘feature=24core’, ‘qos=high’, etc…
stdout_path (str) – Path to print .stdout and .stderr files.
keep_sh (bool) – Boolean to keep the .sh files. Default is to remove these files after job submission.

Returns:

out (str) – qsub standard output, this is typically the PBS job ID.
err (str) – qsub standard error, this is typically an empty string if the job was submitted successfully.

check_status(job_id=None, job_name=None)

Check the status of an HPC job using the HPC queue.

Parameters:

job_id (int | None) – Job integer ID number (preferred input)
job_name (str) – Job name string.

Returns:

status (str | NoneType) – Queue job status str or None if not found. SLURM status strings: PD, R, CG (pending, running, complete). PBS status strings: Q, R, C (queued, running, complete).

static format_walltime(hours)

Get the SLURM walltime string in format “HH:MM:SS”

Parameters:: hours (float | int) – Requested number of job hours.
Returns:: walltime (str) – SLURM walltime request in format “HH:MM:SS”

static make_path(d)

Make a directory tree if it doesn’t exist.

Parameters:: d (str) – Directory tree to check and potentially create.

static make_sh(fname, script)

Make a shell script (.sh file) to execute a subprocess.

Parameters:

fname (str) – Name of the .sh file to create.
script (str) – Contents to be written into the .sh file.

classmethod parse_queue_str(queue_str, keys=0)

Parse the qstat or squeue output string into a dict format keyed by integer job id with nested dictionary of job properties (queue printout columns).

Parameters:

queue_str (str) – HPC queue output string (qstat for PBS or squeue for SLURM). Typically a space-delimited string with line breaks.
keys (list | int) – Argument to set the queue job attributes (column headers). This defaults to an integer which says which row index contains the space-delimited column headers. Can also be a list to explicitly set the column headers.

Returns:

queue_dict (dict) – HPC queue parsed into dictionary format keyed by integer job id with nested dictionary of job properties (queue printout columns).

property queue_job_ids: Get a list of the job integer ids in the queue

property queue_job_names: Get a list of the job names in the queue

static rm(fname)

Remove a file.

Parameters:: fname (str) – Filename (with path) to remove.

static s(s)

Format input as str w/ appropriate quote types for python cli entry.

Examples

list, tuple -> “[‘one’, ‘two’]” dict -> “{‘key’: ‘val’}” int, float, None -> ‘0’ str, other -> ‘string’

static submit(cmd, background=False, background_stdout=False)

Open a subprocess and submit a command.

Parameters:

cmd (str) – Command to be submitted using python subprocess.
background (bool) – Flag to submit subprocess in the background. stdout stderr will be empty strings if this is True.
background_stdout (bool) – Flag to capture the stdout/stderr from the background process in a nohup.out file.

Returns:

stdout (str) – Subprocess standard output. This is decoded from the subprocess stdout with rstrip.
stderr (str) – Subprocess standard error. This is decoded from the subprocess stderr with rstrip. After decoding/rstrip, this will be empty if the subprocess doesn’t return an error.
