Accounting

For any user with an NRAC/LRAC allocation, a special account with the Resource Allocation Project (RAP) identifier from Compute Canada Database (CCDB) should be setup to access the allocated resources. Please use the following instruction to run your job on your allocated allocation since the job will run with special priority.

By default, each job run on the system will have a default RAP associated with the job. For most user, your default RAP should be set properly so you should not need to change it. However, if you have more than one allocation on different RAP, you can also change your default RAP which is the RAP setup by default that you can submit jobs to.

Changing your default RAP

1. Go to the portal, login with your SciNet username and password.
2. Click on "Change SciNet default RAP" and change your default RAP.

Specifying RAP for GPC

There are two ways to specific an account for pbs, either through the command line or inside the submission script.

Command line

Specify a '-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 specify on both the submission script and the command line.

Submission Script

Add a line in your submit script like the following to submit to your allocation:

#PBS -A RAPI

Please replace the RAPI with the RAPI that was allocated to you.

Specifiying RAP for TCS

Add a line in your submit script like the following to submit to your allocation:

# @ account_no = RAPI

Please replace the RAPI with the RAPI that was allocated to you.
