Parallel Computing Service (PCS) is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads, and build scientific and engineering models on Amazon Web Services using Slurm. For more information, see the Parallel Computing Service User Guide.
This reference describes the actions and data types of the service management API. You can use the Amazon Web Services SDKs to call the API actions in software, or use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to call the API actions manually. These API actions manage the service through an Amazon Web Services account.
The API actions operate on PCS resources. A resource is an entity in Amazon Web Services that you can work with. Amazon Web Services services create resources when you use the features of the service. Examples of PCS resources include clusters, compute node groups, and queues. For more information about resources in Amazon Web Services, see Resource in the Resource Explorer User Guide.
An PCS compute node is an Amazon EC2 instance. You don't launch compute nodes directly. PCS uses configuration information that you provide to launch compute nodes in your Amazon Web Services account. You receive billing charges for your running compute nodes. PCS automatically terminates your compute nodes when you delete the PCS resources related to those compute nodes.
\n\n## Installing\n\nTo install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:\n\n- `npm install @aws-sdk/client-pcs`\n- `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-pcs`\n- `pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-pcs`\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Import\n\nThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.\nTo send a request, you only need to import the `PCSClient` and\nthe commands you need, for example `ListClustersCommand`:\n\n```js\n// ES5 example\nconst { PCSClient, ListClustersCommand } = require(\"@aws-sdk/client-pcs\");\n```\n\n```ts\n// ES6+ example\nimport { PCSClient, ListClustersCommand } from \"@aws-sdk/client-pcs\";\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nTo send a request:\n\n- Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).\n - See [docs/CLIENTS](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/CLIENTS.md) for configuration details.\n - See [@aws-sdk/config](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/packages/config/README.md) for additional options.\n- Instantiate a command with input parameters.\n- Call the `send` operation on the client, providing the command object as input.\n\n```js\nconst client = new PCSClient({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\nconst params = { /** input parameters */ };\nconst command = new ListClustersCommand(params);\n```\n\n#### Async/await\n\nWe recommend using the [await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await)\noperator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:\n\n```js\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n} finally {\n // finally.\n}\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nYou can also use [Promise chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises#chaining).\n\n```js\nclient\n .send(command)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n })\n .finally(() => {\n // finally.\n });\n```\n\n#### Aggregated client\n\nThe aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the \"Client\" suffix.\n\n`PCS` extends `PCSClient` and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods.\nThis style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.\n\nIf you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (`PCSClient`).\nMore details are in the blog post on\n[modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/modular-packages-in-aws-sdk-for-javascript/).\n\n```ts\nimport { PCS } from \"@aws-sdk/client-pcs\";\n\nconst client = new PCS({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.listClusters(params);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n}\n\n// Promises.\nclient\n .listClusters(params)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n });\n\n// callbacks (not recommended).\nclient.listClusters(params, (err, data) => {\n // process err and data.\n});\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nWhen the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,\nas well as response metadata (e.g. request id).\n\n```js\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;\n console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });\n /**\n * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.\n * You can access them by specifying exception names:\n * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {\n * const value = error.specialKeyInException;\n * }\n */\n}\n```\n\nSee also [docs/ERROR_HANDLING](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md).\n\n## Getting Help\n\nPlease use these community resources for getting help.\nWe use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests, but have limited bandwidth to address them.\n\n- Visit the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/welcome.html)\n or [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/index.html).\n- Check out the blog posts tagged with [`aws-sdk-js`](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/tag/aws-sdk-js/)\n on AWS Developer Blog.\n- Ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/aws-sdk-js) and tag it with `aws-sdk-js`.\n- Join the AWS JavaScript community on [gitter](https://gitter.im/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).\n- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\n\nTo test your universal JavaScript code in Node.js, browser and react-native environments,\nvisit our [code samples repo](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests).\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis client code is generated automatically. Any modifications will be overwritten the next time the `@aws-sdk/client-pcs` package is updated.\nTo contribute to client you can check our [generate clients scripts](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/tree/main/scripts/generate-clients).\n\n## License\n\nThis SDK is distributed under the\n[Apache License, Version 2.0](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0),\nsee LICENSE for more information.\n\n## Client Commands (Operations List)\n\n
