Platform For AI:Job Template

Create a Template

By saving common configurations as templates, you can achieve standardized task creation and avoid repetitive settings and manual errors.

1. Enter template management. On the distributed training DLC page, click the Template button at the top to enter the template management page.

2. Configure task pre-fill items. Click Create Template to enter the pre-fill page and set default values for tasks. This page is consistent with the task creation form, where you can fill in commonly used configurations as default values. You can also create a template based on an existing task by selecting a successfully run task as the pre-fill value.

   The Environment Information section on the pre-fill page includes the following configurable items:

   • Dataset Mount: Select a custom dataset and specify the mount path.

   • Storage Mount: Supports OSS, General-purpose NAS, Extreme NAS, CPFS, and CPFS for Smart Computing.

   • Startup Command: Shell editor.

   • Environment Variables: Supports multiple key-value pairs. Supports setting variables as Invisible to Others.

   • Third-party Library Configuration: Supports third-party library list and requirements.txt file directory.

3. Configure task read-only rules. You can set pre-filled default values to read-only. Tasks created based on this template will be unable to modify read-only configuration items, preventing accidental modification of key parameters.

   The configuration page is divided into two sections. You can set each item to Read-only individually:

   • Environment Information: Image, Mount, Environment Variables, Code Configuration, Third-party Library Configuration, Startup Command

   • Resource Information: Resource Quota, Framework, Priority, Maximum Runtime

   Each section provides a Select All shortcut in the upper-right corner.

   Note

   For configuration items with parent-child hierarchy like environment variables:

   • If the parent directory is set to read-only, the subdirectories will also be set to read-only. When creating a task using the template, you cannot set newly added environment variables.

   • If the subdirectory is set to read-only, you can add and configure new environment variables when creating a task using the template.

     Read-only rules:

     When a subdirectory is set to read-only, the top-level Read-only check box is unchecked, and the Read-only check box for each environment variable (such as key1: value1, key2: value2) is independently selected.

     You can add and configure new environment variables when creating a task.

     Click + Add to add a new environment variable row, fill in the Key and Value, optionally check Invisible to Others to control visibility, and click the delete icon to remove the variable.

   It is recommended to set the Description field as required, which forces users to describe parameter adjustment information when creating tasks, making it easier to distinguish different tasks. You can define a naming convention in the template description (such as "research direction + adjusted parameters") to guide the team in filling it out consistently.

4. Template preview. You can see that the environment variables set as read-only cannot be modified.

   The pre-fill configuration includes the following:

   • Dataset Mount: Custom dataset test_import_basic / v1, mount path /mnt/data/

   • Storage Mount: Supports adding OSS, General-purpose NAS, Extreme NAS, CPFS, and CPFS for Smart Computing.

   • Startup Command: Shell editor.

   • Environment Variables: key1:value1 and key2:value2

Create a Task Based on a Template

1. After the template is created, go to the template list and click Create Task to create a task based on the template.

2. On the task creation page, configuration items preset in the template will be auto-filled, and locked configurations (such as environment variables) will be displayed as read-only and cannot be modified. You only need to focus on the parameters that require adjustment and then create the task.

   The Environment Information section on the job creation page includes the following configuration items:

   • Startup Command: Shell editor.

   • Environment Variables: Key-value pairs preset by the template (such as key1:value1, key2:value2); once locked, they are displayed as read-only.

   • Third-party Library Configuration: Supports Third-party Library List or requirements.txt File Directory.

   • Code Configuration: Supports Online Configuration or Local Upload.

3. Click the template name to enter the details page and view the Usage Record, which displays tasks created based on this template.

   The usage records page displays job information in a table, including Name/ID, Priority, Total Nodes, Job Resources, Username/ID, and Visibility scope. You can filter by time range and My Jobs Only. The Actions column provides Monitor, Clone, TensorBoard, Stop, and Resource Diagnosis buttons.
