In my PBS script, I am running matlab and would like to know how many many cores were actually used during the time. Especially I would like to know the max number of cores used at a time.
If I only allocate x number of cores but at any time matlab uses more than x number of cores then my job will be stopped and cancelled by the HPC/HTC system.
Ideally the command and output would be as simple as
cpustats matlab -nojvm -r "someExperiment(params);exit()"
Max CPU usage: 12.5 cores
Average CPU usage: 6 cores
Min CPU usage: 0.5 cores
I can't monitor the progress manually because it is a batch script so I am planning on running once with plenty of cores and then modifying the rest so I don't have to wait so long.
I have searched and searched for a command like this but the following don't seem to be what I am looking for
topfinds the current cpu usage which I don't have access topsfinds cpu allotted to a process and not actual usagewatchmight be useful to query random cpu times and output them but would like a continuous stream if possibletimeis really close to what I want but doesn't keep track of peak CPU usage
The most similar question I could find was this one about peak memory usage
