Learn to estimate and optimize your computing resource needs

Incorrectly gauging the resources needed for your jobs can have a negative effect on your research team's endeavours. Requesting excessive resources needlessly reduces the priority of upcoming tasks, while requesting too little may lead to incomplete execution.
In this workshop, we will present guidelines to help you estimate the required storage and memory for your jobs, along with the appropriate CPU time as a function of the number of requested CPUs. A short analysis will also help you assess whether or not a GPU accelerator is worth using.

Plan:

• Understanding the various job types
• Choosing the right resources
• Monitoring active and completed jobs
