Condor Troubleshooting

Basic First hand commands
Condor useful commands
Condor has several dozens of commands, but in this section we will present just the most common ones (if you want to check the complete list, try the Command Reference page). Also remember you can get further information running man condor_ in your shell or visiting the official Users' Manual. The main command will be shown and also some useful options that may help when working with Condor:
Checking pool status
condor_status: List slots in Condor pool and their status: Owner (used by owner), Claimed (used by Condor), Unclaimed (available to be used by Condor), etc.

Useful options:

condor_status -avail: List those slots that are not busy and could run Condor jobs at this moment

condor_status -submitters: Show information about the current general status, like number of running, idle and held jobs (and submitters)

condor_status -run: List slots that are currently running jobs and show related information (owner of each job, machine where it was submitted from, etc.)

condor_status -state -total: List a summary according to the state of each slot

condor_status -master: List machines, but only names (status and slots are not shown)

condor_status -server: List attributes of slots, like memory, disk, load, flops, etc.

condor_status -sort Memory: Sort slots by Memory, you can try also with other attributes

condor_status -format : List attributes using the specified format. For instance, next command will show the name of each slot and the disk space: condor_status -format "%s\t " Name -format "%d KB\n" Disk

condor_status : Show the status of a specific machine

condor_status -long: Show the complete ClassAd of a machine (its specifications). We can use these specifications to add restrictions in the submit file so we can control which machines we want to use.

condor_status -constraint : Only Show slots that satisfy the constraint. I.e: condor_status -constraint 'Memory > 1536' will only show slots with more than 1.5GB of RAM per slot.

Submitting jobs

condor_submit : Submit jobs to Condor queue according to the information specified in submit_file. Visit the submit file page to see some examples of these files. There are also some FAQs related to the submit file.

Useful options:

condor_submit -append '': add a line to the submit file before processing it, very useful to change some parameters at the submitting time. For instance, condor_submit file.submit -append 'N = 10' will submit 10 jobs if your queue command is something like this: queue $(N) (if N had any other value, -append option will override it). If you need to add more than one line, use several -append commands, one per line.

When submitted, each job is identified by a pair of numbers X.Y, like 345.32. The first number (X) is the cluster id: every submission gets a different cluster id, that is shared by all jobs belonging to the same submission. The second number (Y) is the process id: if you submitted N jobs, then this id will go from 0 for the first job to N-1 for the last one. For instance, if you submit a file specifying 4 jobs and Condor assign id 523 to that cluster, then the ids of your jobs will be 523.0, 523.1, 523.2 and 523.3 (you can get these ids and more info using condor_q command).

Caution!: Before submitting your real jobs, perform always some simple tests in order to make sure that both your submit file and program work in a proper way: if you are going to submit hundreds of jobs and each job takes several hours to finish, before doing that try with just a few jobs and change the input data in order to let them finish in minutes. Then check the results to see if everything went fine before submitting the real jobs. Bear in mind that submitting untested files and/or jobs may cause a waste of time and resources if they fail, and also your priority will be lower in following submissions.

Checking and managing submitted jobs
condor_q: Show my jobs in Condor queue and their ids (cluster.process), info and status [I:idle (waiting for a machine to execute on), R:running, H:on hold (there was an error, waiting for user's action), S:suspended, C:completed, X:removed, <:transferring input and >:transferring output] Useful options: condor_q -global: Show all users' jobs in the queue condor_q -analyze : Analyze a specific job and show the reason why it is in its current state (useful for those jobs in Idle status: Condor will show us how many slots match our restrictions and may give us suggestion) condor_q -run: Show your running jobs and related info, like how much time they have been running, in which machine, etc. condor_q -currentrun: Show the consumed on the current run, the cumulative time from last executions will not be used (you can combine also with -run flag to see only the running processes at this moment) condor_q -hold: Show only jobs in the "on hold" state and the reason for that. Held jobs are those that got an error so they could not finish. An action from the user is expected to solve the problem, and then he should use the condor_release command in order to check the job again condor_release : Release a specific held job in the queue (after solving the problems with the held job, use this command and Condor will check the job again). You can also use to release all jobs of a specific submission Useful options: condor_release -constraint : Release all my held jobs that satisfy the constraint condor_release -all: Release all my held jobs condor_rm : Remove a specific job from the queue (it will be removed even if it is running). You can also use to remove all jobs of a specific submission Useful options: condor_rm -constraint : Remove all jobs that satisfy the constraint condor_rm -all: Remove all my jobs from the queue condor_history: Show all completed jobs to date (it has to be run in the same machine where the submission was done). Useful options: condor_history -userlog : list basic information registered in the log files (use condor_logview to see information in graphic mode) condor_history -long XXX.YYY | grep LastRemoteHost: show machine where job XXX.YYY was executed condor_history -constraint 'RemoveReason=!=UNDEFINED': show your jobs that were removed before completion (you can use other constraints) condor_prio: Set the priority of my jobs. One user can only change the priority of her own jobs, to specify which ones she would like to run first (the higher the number, the bigger the priority). Priority could be absolute or relative, use man condor_prio for further information condor_ssh_to_job : Create an ssh session to a running job in a remote machine. You can use this command to check whether the execution is going fine, download/upload inputs or outputs, etc. More information about this command is available in FAQs section. Other commands condor_userprio: Show active Condor users' priority. Lower values means higher priority where 0.5 is the highest. Use condor_userprio -allusers to see all users' priority, you can also add flags -priority and/or -usage to get detailed information condor_logview : This is not an original Condor command, we have created at SIE this link to the script that allows you to display graphical information contained in the log of your executions. condor_hold: put jobs into the hold state. You can specify one single job, or flag -all to hold all jobs, or -constraint option to specify which jobs you want to hold. It could be useful when you detect there are some problems with your input data (see this FAQ for more info), so you can delay the execution of your idle jobs holding them, then solve all problems with input data and finally assign them the idle status again using condor_release. condor_compile: Relink a program with Condor libraries so it can be used in the standard universe where checkpoints are enable (check this FAQ for more info). Relinked programs can be also executed as an standalone checkpointing executable, what means that you can run it directly in your shell (no Condor submission is needed) and create specific or periodic checkpoints that allow you to recover the execution in case of problems. See this FAQ for more information and examples. condor_submit_dag : Submit a DAG file, used to describe jobs with dependencies. Visit the submit file section for more info and examples. condor_version: Print the version of Condor. It should print 8.0.6 in Fedora19 (or 7.8.7 in Fedora17) If you want some general information about Condor queue, the pool of machines, where jobs have been executed on, etc., you can try our online stats about Condor: http://carlota:81/condor_stats/ and nectarino.

Common Mchine Learning Algorithms
We are probably living in the most defining period of human history. The period when computing moved from large mainframes to PCs to cloud. But what makes it defining is not what has happened, but what is coming our way in years to come. What makes this period exciting for some one like me is the democratization of the tools and techniques, which followed the boost in computing. Today, as a data scientist, I can build data crunching machines with complex algorithms for a few dollors per hour. But, reaching here wasn¿t easy! I had my dark days and nights. Broadly, there are 3 types of Machine Learning Algorithms..
1. Supervised Learning
How it works: This algorithm consist of a target / outcome variable (or dependent variable) which is to be predicted from a given set of predictors (independent variables). Using these set of variables, we generate a function that map inputs to desired outputs. The training process continues until the model achieves a desired level of accuracy on the training data. Examples of Supervised Learning: Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN, Logistic Regression etc.
2. Unsupervised Learning
How it works: In this algorithm, we do not have any target or outcome variable to predict / estimate. It is used for clustering population in different groups, which is widely used for segmenting customers in different groups for specific intervention. Examples of Unsupervised Learning: Apriori algorithm, K-means. 3. Reinforcement Learning: How it works: Using this algorithm, the machine is trained to make specific decisions. It works this way: the machine is exposed to an environment where it trains itself continually using trial and error. This machine learns from past experience and tries to capture the best possible knowledge to make accurate business decisions. Example of Reinforcement Learning: Markov Decision Process List of Common Machine Learning Algorithms Here is the list of commonly used machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be applied to almost any data problem: Linear Regression Logistic Regression Decision Tree SVM Naive Bayes KNN K-Means Random Forest Dimensionality Reduction Algorithms Gradient Boost & Adaboost 1. Linear Regression It is used to estimate real values (cost of houses, number of calls, total sales etc.) based on continuous variable(s). Here, we establish relationship between independent and dependent variables by fitting a best line. This best fit line is known as regression line and represented by a linear equation Y= a *X + b. The best way to understand linear regression is to relive this experience of childhood. Let us say, you ask a child in fifth grade to arrange people in his class by increasing order of weight, without asking them their weights! What do you think the child will do? He / she would likely look (visually analyze) at the height and build of people and arrange them using a combination of these visible parameters. This is linear regression in real life! The child has actually figured out that height and build would be correlated to the weight by a relationship, which looks like the equation above. In this equation: Y ¿ Dependent Variable a ¿ Slope X ¿ Independent variable b ¿ Intercept These coefficients a and b are derived based on minimizing the sum of squared difference of distance between data points and regression line. Look at the below example. Here we have identified the best fit line having linear equation y=0.2811x+13.9. Now using this equation, we can find the weight, knowing the height of a person. Linear_Regression Linear Regression is of mainly two types: Simple Linear Regression and Multiple Linear Regression. Simple Linear Regression is characterized by one independent variable. And, Multiple Linear Regression(as the name suggests) is characterized by multiple (more than 1) independent variables. While finding best fit line, you can fit a polynomial or curvilinear regression. And these are known as polynomial or curvilinear regression. Python Code #Import Library #Import other necessary libraries like pandas, numpy... from sklearn import linear_model #Load Train and Test datasets #Identify feature and response variable(s) and values must be numeric and numpy arrays x_train=input_variables_values_training_datasets y_train=target_variables_values_training_datasets x_test=input_variables_values_test_datasets # Create linear regression object linear = linear_model.LinearRegression() # Train the model using the training sets and check score linear.fit(x_train, y_train) linear.score(x_train, y_train) #Equation coefficient and Intercept print('Coefficient: \n', linear.coef_) print('Intercept: \n', linear.intercept_) #Predict Output predicted= linear.predict(x_test) R Code #Load Train and Test datasets #Identify feature and response variable(s) and values must be numeric and numpy arrays x_train <- input_variables_values_training_datasets y_train <- target_variables_values_training_datasets x_test <- input_variables_values_test_datasets x <- cbind(x_train,y_train) # Train the model using the training sets and check score linear <- lm(y_train ~ ., data = x) summary(linear) #Predict Output predicted= predict(linear,x_test) 2. Logistic Regression Don¿t get confused by its name! It is a classification not a regression algorithm. It is used to estimate discrete values ( Binary values like 0/1, yes/no, true/false ) based on given set of independent variable(s). In simple words, it predicts the probability of occurrence of an event by fitting data to a logit function. Hence, it is also known as logit regression. Since, it predicts the probability, its output values lies between 0 and 1 (as expected). Again, let us try and understand this through a simple example. Let¿s say your friend gives you a puzzle to solve. There are only 2 outcome scenarios ¿ either you solve it or you don¿t. Now imagine, that you are being given wide range of puzzles / quizzes in an attempt to understand which subjects you are good at. The outcome to this study would be something like this ¿ if you are given a trignometry based tenth grade problem, you are 70% likely to solve it. On the other hand, if it is grade fifth history question, the probability of getting an answer is only 30%. This is what Logistic Regression provides you. Coming to the math, the log odds of the outcome is modeled as a linear combination of the predictor variables. odds= p/ (1-p) = probability of event occurrence / probability of not event occurrence ln(odds) = ln(p/(1-p)) logit(p) = ln(p/(1-p)) = b0+b1X1+b2X2+b3X3....+bkXk Above, p is the probability of presence of the characteristic of interest. It chooses parameters that maximize the likelihood of observing the sample values rather than that minimize the sum of squared errors (like in ordinary regression). Now, you may ask, why take a log? For the sake of simplicity, let¿s just say that this is one of the best mathematical way to replicate a step function. I can go in more details, but that will beat the purpose of this article. Python Code #Import Library from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression #Assumed you have, X (predictor) and Y (target) for training data set and x_test(predictor) of test_dataset # Create logistic regression object model = LogisticRegression() # Train the model using the training sets and check score model.fit(X, y) model.score(X, y) #Equation coefficient and Intercept print('Coefficient: \n', model.coef_) print('Intercept: \n', model.intercept_) #Predict Output predicted= model.predict(x_test) R Code x <- cbind(x_train,y_train) # Train the model using the training sets and check score logistic <- glm(y_train ~ ., data = x,family='binomial') summary(logistic) #Predict Output predicted= predict(logistic,x_test) Furthermore.. There are many different steps that could be tried in order to improve the model: including interaction terms removing features regularization techniques using a non-linear model 3. Decision Tree This is one of my favorite algorithm and I use it quite frequently. It is a type of supervised learning algorithm that is mostly used for classification problems. Surprisingly, it works for both categorical and continuous dependent variables. In this algorithm, we split the population into two or more homogeneous sets. This is done based on most significant attributes/ independent variables to make as distinct groups as possible. For more details, you can read: Decision Tree Simplified. In the image above, you can see that population is classified into four different groups based on multiple attributes to identify ¿if they will play or not¿. To split the population into different heterogeneous groups, it uses various techniques like Gini, Information Gain, Chi-square, entropy. The best way to understand how decision tree works, is to play Jezzball ¿ a classic game from Microsoft (image below). Essentially, you have a room with moving walls and you need to create walls such that maximum area gets cleared off with out the balls. So, every time you split the room with a wall, you are trying to create 2 different populations with in the same room. Decision trees work in very similar fashion by dividing a population in as different groups as possible. Decision Tree ¿ Simplified!
