Accounting
For any user with an NRAC/LRAC allocation, a special account with the Resource Allocation Project (RAP) identifier (RAPI) from Compute Canada Database (CCDB) is set up in order to access the allocated resources. Please use the following instructions to run your job using your special allocation. This is necessary both for accounting purposes as well as to assign the appropriate priority to your jobs.
Each job run on the system will have a default RAP associated with it. Most users already have their default RAP properly set. However, if you have more than one allocation (different RAPs), you may need/want to change your default RAP in order to charge your jobs to a particular RAP.
Changing your default RAP
- Go to the portal, login with your SciNet username and password.
- Click on "Change SciNet default RAP" and change your default RAP.
Specifying the RAP for GPC
Alternatively, you may want to assign a RAP for each particular job you run. There are two ways to specify an account for Moab/Torque: From the command line or inside the batch submission script.
Command line
Use the '-A RAPI' flag when you submit your job using qsub. Note that the command line option will override the submission script if an account is specified on both the submission script and the command line. "RAPI" is the RAP Identifier, e.g. abc-123-de.
Submission Script
Add a line in your submit script as follows:
#PBS -A RAPI
Please replace "RAPI" with your RAP Identifier.
Specifiying the RAP for TCS
Add a line in your submit script as follows:
# @ account_no = RAPI
Please replace "RAPI" with your RAP Identifier.
