For Running Jobs

using SLURM

If you have a job that is running on a GPU node and that is expected to use a GPU on that node, you can check the GPU use by your code by running the following command on ARC's login node:

$ srun -s --jobid 12345678 --pty nvidia-smi

The number here is the job ID of the running job.

The output should look similar to the following:

|                               |                      |                  N/A |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
                                                                               
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Processes:                                                                  |

|    0   N/A  N/A   2232533      C   .../Programs/OpenDBA/openDBA      338MiB |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

In this case there was 1 GPU allocated and its usage was 30%. The code openDBA also uses 338 MB of the GPU memory.

For Past Jobs

Using Sampled Metrics

On the OOD portal


once you log in, you can select "Help --> View my job metrics", this will open an interface to your past jobs we keep metrics about. Find the job you like and there may be useful graphs for GPU usage.
