Information about job submission to OSG sites¶

This page captures some of the known quirks about certain sites when submitting jobs there.

What this page is¶

Most OSG sites will work with with the jobsub default requests of 2000 MB of RAM and 35 GB of disk, but at some sites there are some more strict limits. Additionally some sites only support certain experiments as opposed to the entire Fermilab VO. Here we list the OSG sites where users can submit jobs, along with all known cases where either the standard jobsub defaults may not work, or the site only supports certain experiments. Information on it is provided on a best-effort basis and is subject to change without notice.

What this page is NOT¶

This page is NOT a status board or health monitor of the OSG sites. Just because your submission fits in with the guidelines here does not mean that your job will start quickly. Nor does it keep track of downtimes at the remote sites. Its sole purpose is to help you avoid submitting jobs with disk/memory/cpu/site combinations that will never work. Limited offsite monitoring is available from https://fifemon.fnal.gov:3000/dashboard/db/offsite-monitoring

Organization¶

The following table lists the available OSG sites, their Glidein_site name (what you should put in the --site option), what experiment(s) the site will support, and finally and known limitations on disk, memory, or CPU.

NOTE: In many cases you may be able to request more than the jobsub defaults and be fine. We have not done detailed testing at each site to determine what the real limits are. If you do try a site and put in requirements that exceed the jobsub defaults, sometimes a

jobsub_q --better-analyze --jobid=<your job id>

will give you useful information about why a job doesn't start to run
(i.e. it may recommend lowering the disk or memory requirements to a certain value.)

NOTE 2: Under supported experiments, "All" means all experiments except for CDF, D0, and LSST. It does include DES and DUNE.
