kuacc-nodes & valar-nodes
The kuacc-nodes and valar-nodes commands lists all available compute nodes in the KUACC & VALAR HPC cluster along with their hardware specifications.
These commands provide a detailed and structured view of the clusters compared to sinfo, including information on CPU models, GPU types, memory, and node features.
Command Output Example
Column Description
Column | Description |
|---|---|
NODELIST | Node or node group name(s). Ranges (e.g., ke [01-08]) represent multiple nodes. |
STATE | Node status: idle (available), allocated (fully in use), or mixed (partially allocated). |
CPUS | Total number of logical CPU cores per node. |
S:C:T | Socket:Core: Thread topology per node. |
MEMORY | Total available memory per node (in MB). |
TMP_DISK | Local temporary storage (if any, usually 0 on shared filesystems). |
GRES | Generic Resources — typically GPU type and count (e.g., gpu:tesla_k80:4). |
AVAIL_FEATURES | Node attributes and tags (e.g., partition, interconnect, CPU model, GPU type, VNC support, etc.). |
