Latest Updates and Changes to the Bunya HPC Cluster

13 August 2024

  • The way users use DUO for multifactor authentication has changed. After you enter your password, you will now need to enter a 6 digit passcode from the DUO app, this replaces push notification approval.

  • QCIF users (non UQ) can now use their QSAC password https://services.qriscloud.org.au/credential to access Bunya and ssh keys are no longer required.

  • A new tool, jobstats, is now available as a module to Bunya users to monitor the resource utilization of their jobs. The following commands will show visual and numerical CPU, CPU ram, GPU, and GPU ram utilization:

    module load jobstats

    jobstats JobID

  • The beta partitions should no longer be targeted as all of the Bunya phase 2 nodes have now been moved into the general and debug queues.
  • Users who compile their own software will now need to target specific architecture (epyc3 or epyc4) to be able to compile and run jobs as expected. Refer to the user guide for more information.

  • Bunya phase 2 introduces 33 new AMD Genoa epyc4 nodes for use on partition "general_beta".
  • As there is now a mix of epyc3 and epyc4 nodes, the correct architecture must be targeted, see hpc-docs/Bunya-User-Guide.md for more details on how to do this.
