Presesnted By: Advanced Research Computing (ARC)

Description:

When you run your jobs on ARC resources, there are things you can learn about the performance of your code, both during its execution and after the job is completed.  For example, you can learn about CPU (core) utilization, memory consumption, and I/O (input/output).  These data can give you guidance about how your code is performing and suggest ways to improve it.  You will learn several commands and how to use them.
Among the commands we will talk about are top, htop, sacct, and seff.
