PROGRAM:

NAME


sbcast - transmit a file to the nodes allocated to a Slurm job.

SYNOPSIS


sbcast [-CfFjpstvV] SOURCE DEST

DESCRIPTION


sbcast is used to transmit a file to all nodes allocated to the currently active Slurm
job. This command should only be executed from within a Slurm batch job or within the
shell spawned after a Slurm job's resource allocation. SOURCE is the name of a file on
the current node. DEST should be the fully qualified pathname for the file copy to be
created on each node. DEST should be on a file system local to that node. Note that
parallel file systems may provide better performance than sbcast can provide, although
performance will vary by file size, degree of parallelism, and network type.

OPTIONS


-C, --compress
Compress the file being transmitted.

-f, --force
If the destination file already exists, replace it.

-F number, --fanout=number
Specify the fanout of messages used for file transfer. Maximum value is currently
eight.

-j jobID[.stepID], --jobid=jobID[.stepID]
Specify the job ID to use with optional step ID. If run inside an allocation this
is unneeded as the job ID will read from the environment.

-p, --preserve
Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.

-s size, --size=size
Specify the block size used for file broadcast. The size can have a suffix of k or
m for kilobytes or megabytes respectively (defaults to bytes). This size subject
to rounding and range limits to maintain good performance. This value may need to
be set on systems with very limited memory.

-t seconds, fB--timeout=seconds
Specify the message timeout in seconds. The default value is MessageTimeout as
reported by "scontrol show config". Setting a higher value may be necessitated by
relatively slow I/O performance on the compute node disks.

-v, --verbose
Provide detailed event logging through program execution.

-V, --version
Print version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES


Some sbcast options may be set via environment variables. These environment variables,
along with their corresponding options, are listed below. (Note: Command line options will
always override these settings.)

SBCAST_COMPRESS -C, --compress

SBCAST_FANOUT -F number, fB--fanout=number

SBCAST_FORCE -f, --force

SBCAST_PRESERVE -p, --preserve

SBCAST_SIZE -s size, --size=size

SBCAST_TIMEOUT -t seconds, fB--timeout=seconds

SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file.

AUTHORIZATION


When using the Slurm db, users who have AdminLevel's defined (Operator or Admin) and users
who are account coordinators are given the authority to invoke sbcast on other user's
jobs.

EXAMPLE


Using a batch script, transmit local file my.prog to /tmp/my.proc on the local nodes and
then execute it.

> cat my.job
#!/bin/bash
sbcast my.prog /tmp/my.prog
srun /tmp/my.prog

> sbatch --nodes=8 my.job
srun: jobid 12345 submitted
