NAME

HPC::Runner::Command

HPC::Runner::Command - Create composable bioinformatics hpc analyses.

SYNOPSIS

To create a new project

    hpcrunner.pl new MyNewProject

To submit jobs to a cluster

    hpcrunner.pl submit_jobs

To run jobs on an interactive queue or workstation

    hpcrunner.pl execute_job

DESCRIPTION

HPC::Runner::Command is a set of libraries for scaffolding data analysis projects, submitting and executing jobs on an HPC cluster or workstation, and obsessively logging results.

Please see the complete documentation at HPC::Runner::Command GitBooks

Quick Start - Create a New Project

You can create a new project, with a sane directory structure by using

        hpcrunner.pl new MyNewProject

Quick Start - Submit Workflows

Simple Example

Our simplest example is a single job type with no dependencies - each task is independent of all other tasks.

Workflow file

        #preprocess.sh

        echo "preprocess" && sleep 10;
        echo "preprocess" && sleep 10;
        echo "preprocess" && sleep 10;

Submit to the scheduler

        hpcrunner.pl submit_jobs --infile preprocess.sh

Look at results!

        tree hpc-runner

Job Type Dependencency Declaration

Most of the time we have jobs that depend upon other jobs.

Workflow file

        #blastx.sh

        #HPC jobname=unzip
        unzip Sample1.zip
        unzip Sample2.zip
        unzip Sample3.zip

        #HPC jobname=blastx
        #HPC deps=unzip
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample1.fasta
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample2.fasta
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample3.fasta

Submit to the scheduler

        hpcrunner.pl submit_jobs --infile preprocess.sh

Look at results!

        tree hpc-runner

Task Dependencency Declaration

Within a job type we can declare dependencies on particular tasks.

Workflow file

        #blastx.sh

        #HPC jobname=unzip
        #TASK tags=Sample1
        unzip Sample1.zip
        #TASK tags=Sample2
        unzip Sample2.zip
        #TASK tags=Sample3
        unzip Sample3.zip

        #HPC jobname=blastx
        #HPC deps=unzip
        #TASK tags=Sample1
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample1.fasta
        #TASK tags=Sample2
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample2.fasta
        #TASK tags=Sample3
        blastx --db env_nr --sample Sample3.fasta

Submit to the scheduler

        hpcrunner.pl submit_jobs --infile preprocess.sh

Look at results!

        tree hpc-runner

Declare Scheduler Variables

Each scheduler has its own set of variables. HPC::Runner::Command has a set of generalized variables for declaring types across templates. For more information please see Job Scheduler Comparison

Additionally, for workflows with a large number of tasks, please see Considerations for Workflows with a Large Number of Tasks for information on how to group tasks together.

Workflow file

        #blastx.sh

        #HPC jobname=unzip
        #HPC cpus_per_task=1
        #HPC partition=serial
        #HPC commands_per_node=1
        #TASK tags=Sample1
        unzip Sample1.zip
        #TASK tags=Sample2
        unzip Sample2.zip
        #TASK tags=Sample3
        unzip Sample3.zip

        #HPC jobname=blastx
        #HPC cpus_per_task=6
        #HPC deps=unzip
        #TASK tags=Sample1
        blastx --threads 6 --db env_nr --sample Sample1.fasta
        #TASK tags=Sample2
        blastx --threads 6 --db env_nr --sample Sample2.fasta
        #TASK tags=Sample3
        blastx --threads 6 --db env_nr --sample Sample3.fasta

Submit to the scheduler

        hpcrunner.pl submit_jobs --infile preprocess.sh

Look at results!

Previous Release

This software was previously released under HPC::Runner. HPC::Runner::Command is a complete rewrite of the existing library. While it is meant to have much of the same functionality, it is not backwords compatible.
