Set options for LSF job management.
Usage
crew_options_lsf(
verbose = FALSE,
command_submit = as.character(Sys.which("bsub")),
command_terminate = as.character(Sys.which("bkill")),
script_directory = tempdir(),
script_lines = character(0L),
cwd = getwd(),
log_output = "/dev/null",
log_error = "/dev/null",
memory_gigabytes_limit = NULL,
memory_gigabytes_required = NULL,
cores = NULL
)
Arguments
- verbose
Logical, whether to see console output and error messages when submitting worker.
- command_submit
Character of length 1, file path to the executable to submit a worker job.
- command_terminate
Character of length 1, file path to the executable to terminate a worker job. Set to
""
to skip manually terminating the worker. Unless there is an issue with the platform, the job should still exit thanks to the NNG-powered network programming capabilities ofmirai
. Still, if you setcommand_terminate = ""
, you are assuming extra responsibility for manually monitoring your jobs on the cluster and manually terminating jobs as appropriate.- script_directory
Character of length 1, directory path to the job scripts. Just before each job submission, a job script is created in this folder. Script base names are unique to each launcher and worker, and the launcher deletes the script when the worker is manually terminated.
tempdir()
is the default, but it might not work for some systems.tools::R_user_dir("crew.cluster", which = "cache")
is another reasonable choice.- script_lines
Optional character vector of additional lines to be added to the job script just after the more common flags. An example would be
script_lines = "module load R"
if your cluster supports R through an environment module.- cwd
Character of length 1, directory to launch the worker from (as opposed to the system default).
cwd = "/home"
translates to a line of#BSUB -cwd /home
in the LSF job script.cwd = getwd()
is the default, which launches workers from the current working directory. Setcwd = NULL
to omit this line from the job script.- log_output
Character of length 1, file pattern to control the locations of the LSF worker log files. By default, both standard output and standard error go to the same file.
log_output = "crew_log_%J.log"
translates to a line of#BSUB -o crew_log_%J.log
in the LSF job script, where%J
is replaced by the job ID of the worker. The default is/dev/null
to omit these logs. Setlog_output = NULL
to omit this line from the job script.- log_error
Character of length 1, file pattern for standard error.
log_error = "crew_error_%J.err"
translates to a line of#BSUB -e crew_error_%J.err
in the LSF job script, where%J
is replaced by the job ID of the worker. The default is/dev/null
to omit these logs. Setlog_error = NULL
to omit this line from the job script.- memory_gigabytes_limit
Positive numeric vector, usually with a single element. Supply a vector to make
memory_gigabytes_limit
a retryable option (see the "Retryable options" section for details).memory_gigabytes_limit
is the memory limit in gigabytes of the worker.memory_gigabytes_limit = 4
translates to a line of#BSUB -M 4G
in the LSF job script.memory_gigabytes_limit = NULL
omits this line.- memory_gigabytes_required
Positive numeric vector, usually with a single element. Supply a vector to make
memory_gigabytes_required
a retryable option (see the "Retryable options" section for details).memory_gigabytes_required
is the memory requirement in gigabytes.memory_gigabytes_required = 4
translates to a line of#BSUB -R 'rusage[mem=4G]'
in the LSF job script.memory_gigabytes_required = NULL
omits this line.- cores
Optional positive integer vector, usually with a single element. Supply a vector to make
cores
a retryable option (see the "Retryable options" section for details).cores
is the number of CPU cores for the worker.cores = 4
translates to a line of#BSUB -n 4
in the LSF job script.cores = NULL
omits this line.
Retryable options
Arguments memory_gigabytes_limit
, memory_gigabytes_required
,
and cores
are retryable options.
Each of these arguments be a vector where each successive element is
used during a retry if the worker previously exited without
completing all its assigned tasks.
The last element of the vector is used if there are more retries than
the length of the vector.
Control the number of allowable retries with crashes_error
argument of the controller.
