Abaqus License

Users of the Abaqus software on EXPLOR must specify the number of licenses in their submission scripts. The number of required licenses must match the number of MPI processes to be executed by the scripts. For EXPLOR, we have a maximum number of active licenses set to 320 MPI processes. This maximum number of active licenses is shared among all EXPLOR users. The number of licenses is now a resource that will be considered by SLURM to allocate users' JOBs. Processes executed without the Abaqus license "TAG" may be removed from execution without any warning.

Abaqus – max license: 320

Example JOB abaqus with 64 MPI processes

#$SBATCH –licenses=abaqus:64

or

#$SBATCH -L abaqus:64

When submitting a JOB with the license "TAG", the process may not be executed immediately even if there are available nodes. This means that all Abaqus licenses are already in use. In this case, the user's JOB will wait for the resource in the system, which in this case is the license number requested by the JOB via the license "TAG". The user can check the number of licenses using the commands

%scontrol show lic abaqus

LicenseName=abaqus

    Total=320 Used=0 Free=320 Reserved=0 Remote=no
