Evidences and observations

Bill

• Observing “Bus error” for some SLURM jobs

• Observing OOM on some SLURM jobs; these are for combined launches of qcfractal-server and qcfractal-manager

Assessment and proposed solutions

Ben + David

• BP: worried multiple server and postgres process running at once; could happen if two different nodes see the same postgres persistent files on a network filesystem

  • BS: nope, only running once at a time

• For 24-hour problem, could be that manager+server are running out of memory, causing workers to die when manager gets killed

  • BS: will increase memory allocation to manager+server

  • will also increase memory allocation per worker in manager config

  • If worker processes continue to die within some short time window, BS will log into compute node where server+manager are running and see if one of those processes have died

COMPLETE > INCOMPLETE

Bill

• Want to interrogate the server logs next for an optimization record that goes from COMPLETE > INCOMPLETE

• BS will run something like the following for a known molid that switches in this way; we can then grep the server logs for that record id

  Code Block
  from qcfractal.interface import FractalClient fc = FractalClient(<uri>) optds = fc.get_collection('OptimizationDataset', <dataset_name>) optds.status() opt = optds.df.loc[<molid>, 'b3lyp-d3bj/dzvp'] print(opt.id)
