Hi,
I have a FLUKA input which I run on a computing cluster. As soon as I run this, the run times out (status TIME OUT). When I click attach the, the runs turn green but then immediately pink. I checked after 1 week, there is no progress on the output. Do you know what this could be ?
Best wishes,
-Marco
nevermind…I noticed that the run continues in the background but still the problem exists in flair
I suggest approaching this from two aspects:
1.Check whether the filename.inp can run normally on other computers.
2.Clusters typically distinguish between management nodes (running the graphical interface) and compute nodes (dedicated to heavy computations). If you directly start calculations via the graphical interface on the management node, the tasks will execute on the management node itself, which usually has limited resources and poorer performance. To optimize resource usage, submit computational tasks to compute nodes using cluster management tools (e.g., job schedulers like SLURM or PBS). This requires coordination with your cluster administrator to ensure proper configuration and access permissions.
Flair is not using the process information to monitoring the progress of a run (it would not work on a cluster system), but rather by checking if there is an activity in the output files. If for some reason there is no activity (no output message) for at least 2 minutes (configurable in the flair settings), flair shows the TIMEOUT message.
it doesn’t mean that the run has stopped simply flair doesn’t know.
You can always click on the Attach button and it will try to re-attach to the process
