Bluesky

I like my job, so no screenshots. Sorry.

Notes:

• sbatch is a command for submitting jobs on high performance compute nodes
• the huge-n128-512g node uses 128 cores and has 512GiB of memory
• This is occurring in a medical research nonprofit

User: Hello everyone, this is the first time I'm using GCP. I'm trying to run a job, but it keeps failing. These are the sbatch headers I'm using:

#SBATCH --partition=huge-n128-512g
#SBATCH --nodes=8
#SBATCH --mail-user=user@institute.org
#SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=32G

IT: Please make sure you need to use that node, each one costs $4500/month to use. Can you describe the job you're trying to do?

User: I'm doing high-depth genetic sequencing using 3gb bam files.

(additional note: there's usually only 1 bam file per chromosome, so 69gb total. Nice.)

IT: Those bam files are pretty small. I'd recommend starting with the med-n16-64g node and moving up if needed. We're only billed for run time. If the jobs take the same amount of time, it would be 13% of the cost.

The astute among you will notice that an 8 node swarm of 32GiB of memory per core is 32TiB total. The job was failing because the --mem-per-cpu flag was going above the available memory on each node. Even without that flag, the swarm would have used 4TiB memory. Holy overallocation, Batman!

I was using 3 Firefox browser tabs and it just decided to use 4 gigabytes of memory

Breaking Free.

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide. Together with more than 70 consumer groups and other actors in Europe and the US, we are sending letter to policymakers in the EU/EEA, UK and the US.

This was in my Cisco training. Unidirectional line break.

No. I don't speak Japanese. Or whatever that is.
