Grid Resource Allocation Manager (GRAM)

Job submission

6a.4

Resource Management

• Job submission

• Job status

• Basic resource allocation

6a.5

Outline

• GT2 job submission using RSL version 1 language.

• GT 3.2 job submission using RSL version 2 language.

• GT 4 job submission (can use RSL version language

6a.6

Resource Allocation

Globus (2, 3.2, or 4.0) does not have its own job scheduler to find resources and automatically send jobs to suitable machines.

For that, use a separate scheduler, e.g. Condor, Sun Grid Engine, LSF, PBS, … .

6a.7

Globus Version 2(pre-2004)

Pre-WS GRAM

6a.8

From: “Introduction to Grid Computing with Globus,” IBM Redbooks, Fig. 7-3.

Globus version 2

6a.9

GT 2 GRAMJob startup done using GRAM service.

Consist of:

• Gatekeeper• Job Manager

Job manager can connect to a local resource manager (scheduler)

GASS service -- provides access to remote files and for redirecting standard output streams.

6a.10

GRAM Commands

• globusrun -- Runs a single executable on a remote site.

• globus-job-run -- Allows you to run a job at one or several remote resources. Uses globusrun to submit job.

• globus-job-submit -- For batch job submission (e.g. using a local scheduling job manager). Not recommended; use globus-job-run or globusrun instead, with job manager specified

6a.11

Scheduler

• Can specify a job scheduler with globusrun, by adding scheduler name to hostname:

<hostname>/jobmanager-lsf

6a.12

Specifying job

• Command used a file to describe job in a language called Resource Specification Language, RSL

• RSL Version 1 -- a metalanguage describing job and its required execution.

6a.13

Resource Specification LanguageRSL

Provides a specification for:

• Resource requirements - machine type, number of nodes, memory, etc.

• Job description - directory, executable, arguments, environment

6a.14

RSL Version 1Constraints Example

Conjunction (AND): &

• To create 3-5 instances of myProg, each on a machine with at least 64 Mbytes memory available to me for 1 hours:

& (executable=myProg)

(count>=3)(count<=5)(memory>=64)

(max_time=60)

6a.15

RSL Version 1Constraints Example

Disjunction (OR): |• To create 5 instances of myProg, each on a

machine with at least 64 Mbytes memory or 7 instances of myProg, each on a machine with at least 32 Mbytes memory :

&(executable=myProg)(|(&(count=5)(memory>=64))(&(count=7)(memory>=32)))

6a.16

RSL version 1Requesting multiple resources

multirequest: +

• To execute 5 instances of myProg1 on a machine with at least 64 Mbytes memory and execute 2 instances of myProg2:

+(&(count=5)(memory>=64))

(executable=myProg1))

(&(count=2)(executable=myProg2))

6a.17

Can specify different resource managers on different machines using resourceManagerContact attribute.

6a.18

RSL creation with Globus version 2

• GT2 globus-job-run can be used to

generate RSL from command line

arguments with -dumprsl flag

• -help gives options

6a.19

Globus 3.2

6a.20

GT 3.2 GRAM“Globus Resource Allocation Manager”

A set of “OGSI” compliant services provided to start remote jobs. notably:

• Master Managed Job Factory Service (MMJFS).

Also a set of non-OGSI compliant services (Gatekeeper, Jobmanager) from pre-GT3.

6a.21

Globus GT 3.x

6a.22

Resource Specification Language, RSL, version 2

• GT3 and GT 4 use RSL version 2. (Some differences in RSL language specification in GT4, so not completely interchangeable.)

• RSL Version 2 is an XML language.

6a.23

Resource Specification Language Version 2 (RSL -2)

• Can specify everything from executable,

paths, arguments, input/output, error file,

number of processes, max/min execution

time, max/min memory, job type etc. etc.

6a.24

RSL-2

• Much more elegant and flexible, and in keeping with systems using XML.

• Can use XML parsers.

• Allows more powerful mechanisms with job schedulers.

• Resource scheduler/broker applies specification to local resources.

6a.25

RSL-2 ExampleSpecifying Executable

(executable=/bin/echo)<gram:executable> <rsl:path> <rsl:stringElement value="/bin/echo"/> </rsl:path></gram:executable>

In GT 4 version of RSL-2, can simply write:

<executable>/bin/echo</executable>

6a.26

RSL-2 ExampleSpecifying Directory

(directory=“/bin”)

<gram:directory>

<rsl:path>

<rsl:stringElement value="/bin/"/>

</rsl:path>

</gram:directory>

In GT 4 version of RSL-2, can simply write:

<directory>/bin/</directory>

6a.27

RSL-2 ExampleSpecifying Number

(count=1)

<gram:count>

<rsl:integer value="1"/>

</gram:count>

In GT 4 version of RSL-2, can simply write:

<count>1</count>

6a.28

RSL-2 ExampleSpecifying Arguments

(arguments=“Hello”)

<gram:arguments> <rsl:string>

<rsl:stringElement value="Hello World"/>

</rsl:string>

</gram:arguments>

In GT 4 version of RSL-2, can simply write:

<argment>hello world</argument>

6a.29

RSL and (GT 3.2) RSL-2 comparison for echo program

&((executable=/bin/echo)

(directory="/bin")

(arguments="Hello World")

(stdin=/dev/null)

(stdout="stdout")

(stderr="stderr")

6a.30

Running GT 3 Job• Command:

managed-job-globusrunand arguments -- named master job factory service to process job and an xml file to specify job.

• Command equivalent to GT 2 globusrun command.

6a.31

Globus 4.0

6a.32

GT 4 WS-GRAM

6a.33

• In WS GRAM, jobs started by the

ManagedExecutionJobService,

which is a Java service

implementation running within

globus service container.

6a.34

Running GT 4 Job• Command:

globusrun-wsand arguments to specify job.

• Equivalent to GT 3.2 managed-job-globusrun command, and GT 2 globusrun command.

6a.35

GT4 job submission command globusrun-ws

• Submit and monitor GRAM jobs

• Replaces (java) managed-job-globusrun

• Written in C, faster startup and execution

• Supports multiple and single job submission

• Handles credential management

• Streaming of job stdout/err during execution

6a.36

Simple job submission

• Step 1: Create proxy with grid-proxy-int command.

• Step 2: globusrun-ws with parameters to specify job.

6a.37

Some globusrun-ws flags for job submission

6a.38

Job submission

-submit Submits (or resubmits) a job to a job host in one of three output modes: batch, interactive, or interactive-streaming. This flag needed.

6a.39

Specifying where job is submitted(ManagedJobFactory)

-F Specifies the “contact” for the job submission.

Defaulthttps://localhost:8443/wsrf/services/

ManagedJobFactoryService

In assignment 3, simply localhost and container port number used, i.e.

-F localhost:8443

6a.40

Submitting a single job

- c Causes globusrun-ws to generate a simple job description with the named program and arguments. This flag, if used, must be the last flag.

6a.41

ExampleSubmit program echo with argument hello to default local host.

% globusrun-ws –submit –c /bin/echo hello

Submitting job...Done.Job ID: uuid:d23a7be0-f87c-11d9-a53b-0011115aae1fTermination time: 07/20/2005 17:44 GMTCurrent job state: ActiveCurrent job state: CleanUpCurrent job state: DoneDestroying job...Done.

6a.42

• A successful submission will create a

new ManagedJob resource with its own

unique EPR for messaging.

• globusrun-ws will output this EPR to a

file when requested, as the sole

standard output when running in batch

mode.

6a.43

Selecting a different host

Example

$ globusrun-ws –submit –F

https://140.221.65.193:4444/wsrf/

services/managedJobFactoryService

–c /bin/echo hello

6a.44

Using an RSL file

–f Similar to -c except job description held in a file.

Example

globusrun-ws –submit –f echo.xml

where echo.xml is an RSL-2 file describing job.

6a.45

Contents of echo.xml

<job>

<executable>/bin/echo</executable>

<argument>hello</argument>

</job>

6a.46

Batch Submission

-batch Results in ManagedJob EPR as the sole standard output (unless in quiet mode) and then exits.

-o filename Created ManagedJob EPR written to file (if submission successful)

6a.47

Batch Job Submission

$ globusrun-ws –submit –batch –o job_epr –s /bin/sleep 50

Submitting job…DoneJoB ID: uuid:f9544174-60c5-11d9-97e3-0002a5ad41e5Termination time: 01/08/2005 16:05 GMT

6a.48

Monitoring Batch Submission

-monitor Attaches to an existing job in interactive or interactive-streaming output modes.

-j filename EPR for ManagedJob read from file.

6a.49

Monitoring Batch Job

globusrun-ws –monitor –j job_epr

job state: ActiveCurrent job state: CleanUpCurrent job state: DoneRequesting original job description...Done.Destroying job...Done

6a.50

Batch Submission

-status Reports the current state of the job and exits

-kill Requests immediate cancellation of job and exits.

6a.51

6a.52

Input/OutputRSL file can specify where stdout/err goes.

Example<job> <executable>/bin/echo</executable> <directory>/tmp</directory> <argument>hello</argument> <stdout>job.out</stdout> <stderr>job.err</stderr>…</job>

6a.53

Stream Input/Output

-s The standard output and standard error files of the job are monitored and data is written to the corresponding output of globusrun-ws.

Allows streaming stdout/err during executing to the terminal.

6a.54

Stream output data files

Can also “stream” output data files. Specify in RSL file where to.

6a.55

Example<job>

…

<fileStageOut>

<transfer>

<sourceUrl>file:///tmp/job.out</sourceUrl>

<destinationUrl>gsiftp://host.domain:2811/

tmp/stage.out</destinationUrl>

</transfer>

</fileStageOut>

…

</job>

6a.56

Reliable File Transfer (RTF)Example

<job> … <transfer> … <rftOptions> <subjectName>/O=NCSU/OU=HPC/ OU=unity.ncsu.edu/CN=Barry Wilkinson <parallelStreams>4</parallel Streams> </transfer> …</job>
