Autosubmit GUI

Autosubmit GUI Main Page

Inside the Barcelona Supercomputing Internal Network you can find the latest version of Autosubmit GUI deployed for BSC users. It can be accessed by following the url http://bscesweb04.bsc.es/autosubmitapp/ or https://earth.bsc.es/autosubmitapp/. This is a graphic user interface that allows you to easily monitor your experiments and those of your colleagues. This Web App introduces many useful features for experiment monitoring, and we are continuously improving it.

Note

The Web App can also be accessed through the VPN Client provided by BSC.

When you enter the site, you will be presented with the following page:

You can also click on the Running button, and all the experiments that are currently running will be listed. The results will look like:

If you click on Show Detailed Data, summary data for each experiment (result) will be loaded. These are data details from the experiment run, useful to see its status at a glance. Progress bars and status will use different colors to highlight the important information.

15 Average Times Feature

In experiments that include SIM jobs, you will also see the average queuing and running time for these jobs. In the latest version the time format has been updated to HH:mm:ss. The text for the SIM average follows the format avg. queue HH:mm:ss (M) | run HH:mm:ss (N) where M is the number of jobs considered for the avg. queue calculation and N is the number of jobs considered for run calculation.

To improve response times, Autosubmit GUI will try to store the dependency structure of your experiment in a database filed called structure_expid.db where expid is the name of your experiment. This file will be located in /esarchive/autosubmit/expid/pkl/.
