sue-sandbox-quota-calculation

What problem does it solve?

Users planning or auditing SUE scale-up experiments frequently mix up different HPC quota units (LUMI billing GPU-hours, software GCD-hours, Snellius SBUs), leading to incorrect resource estimates, failed job submissions, and wasted compute budget.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Precise Unit Conversion: Convert between LUMI billing GPU-hours, software GCD-hours, and Snellius partition-specific SBUs for A100, H100, MIG, and Vis GPU nodes.
• Live Quota Comparison: Query real-time remaining allocation across LUMI and Snellius to identify which sandbox has sufficient quota for upcoming experiments.
• Job Validation: Cross-check Slurm job records to confirm quota consumption matches expected calculations for completed runs.
• Use Case: If you are planning a 64-node DINOv3 training run, use this skill to calculate exact quota requirements, compare remaining budget across LUMI and Snellius, and validate past job billing to avoid overallocation.

Quick Start

Use the sue-sandbox-quota-calculation skill to calculate the total LUMI billing GPU-hours needed for a 32-node standard-g training run that will run for 10 wall-clock hours, and compare the remaining quota against your Snellius A100 allocation.
