When are TSUBAME points consumed and returned?(liquidation of temporary points).

TSUBAME3 collects TSUBAME points as "temporary points" that are expected to be needed when submitting a job, and settles the actual consumption points after the job is finished.
The timing of TSUBAME point consumption and return is as follows.

1. When a job is submitted or qrsh command is executed
   The maximum TSUBAME points that a job can consume are collected as temporary points.
2. When a job is terminated
   The timing of settling provisional points is different in the following three ways
   1. When a job finishes as usual, or when a job is canceled by the qdel command after it has started running
      Recalculate the consumption points based on the time actually used by the job, and return the difference immediately.
   2. When a job is canceled by the qdel command before execution starts, or when the qrsh command fails to start
      The provisional points will remain collected and the temporary points will be automatically returned within three days of the cancellation or execution failure.
      Please contact us if the display on TSUBAME portal remains "Processing" for more than 3 days.
   3. When a job is deleted by the scheduler or the system administrator due to a system error
      When a job is deleted by the scheduler or the system administrator due to a system error, it is basically settled based on the time when the job was deleted as in a.
      If the cancellation is clearly due to system reasons, we will compensate you for the wasted TSUBAME points if you contact us.

If you have any questions about TSUBAME points, please contact us using the inquiry form with the following information.

• The TSUBAME3 group that submitted the job
