9 This page summarizes the resources supported by PBS for systems running
10 HP UX version 11.x. These resources are specified by including them in
11 the -l option argument on the qsub or qalter command or in the PBS job
12 script.
13
15 cput Maximum amount of CPU time used by all processes in the job.
16 Units: time.
17 file The largest size of any single file that may be created by
19 the job. Units: size.
20 nice The nice value under which the job is to be run. Units: uni‐
22 tary.
23 pcput Maximum amount of CPU time used by any single process in the
25 job. Units: time.
26 pvmem Maximum amount of virtual memory used by any single process
28 in the job. Units: size.
29 vmem Maximum amount of virtual memory used by all concurrent pro‐
31 cesses in the job. Units: size.
32 walltime Maximum amount of real time during which the job can be in
34 the running state. Units: time.
35 arch Specifies the administrator defined system architecture
37 requried. This defaults to whatever the PBS_MACH string is
38 set to in "local.mk". Units: string.
39 host Name of host on which job should be run. This resource is
41 provided for use by the site's scheduling policy. The
42 allowable values and effect on job placement is site depen‐
43 dent. Units: string.
44 nodes Number and/or type of nodes to be reserved for exclusive use
46 by the job. The value is one or more node_specs joined with
47 the '+' character, "node_spec[+node_spec...]. Each node_spec
48 is an number of nodes required of the type declared in the
49 node_spec and a name or one or more properity or properities
50 desired for the nodes. The number, the name, and each
51 properity in the node_spec are separated by a colon ':'. If
52 no number is specified, one (1) is assumed. Units: string.
53 The name of a node is its hostname. The properities of nodes
55 are:
56 . ppn=# specifying the number of processors per node
58 requested. Defaults to 1.
59 . arbitrary string assigned by the system administrator,
61 please check with your administrator as to the node names
62 and properities available to you.
63 Examples:
65 . To ask for 12 nodes of any type: -l nodes=12
67 . To ask for 2 "server" nodes and 14 other nodes (a total of
69 16): -l nodes=2:server+14
70 The above consist of two node_specs "2:server" and "14".
71 . To ask for (a) 1 node that is a "server" and has a "hippi"
73 interface, (b) 10 nodes that are not servers, and (c) 3
74 nodes that have a large amount of memory an have hippi:
75 -l nodes=server:hippi+10:noserver+3:bigmem:hippi
76 . To ask for three nodes by name:
78 -l nodes=b2005+b1803+b1813
79 . To ask for 2 processors on each of four nodes:
81 -l nodes=4:ppn=2
82 . To ask for 4 processors on one node:
84 -l nodes=1:ppn=4
85 . To ask for 2 processors on each of two blue nodes and three
87 processors on one red node:
88 -l nodes=2:blue:ppn=2+red:ppn=3
89 host Allows a user to specify the desired execution location.
91 This resource is provided for use by the site's scheduling
92 policy. The allowable values and effect on job placement is
93 site dependent. Units: string.
94 other Allows a user to specify site specific information. This
96 resource is provided for use by the site's scheduling policy.
97 The allowable values and effect on job placement is site
98 dependent. Units: string.
99 software Allows a user to specify software required by the job. This
101 is useful if certain software packages are only available on
102 certain systems in the site. This resource is provided for
103 use by the site's scheduling policy. The allowable values
104 and effect on job placement is site dependent. Units:
105 string.
106
108 qsub -l nodes=15,walltime=2:00:00 script
109 or in a qsub script as a directive:
111 #PBS -l nodes=15,walltime=2:00:00
113 qsub -l cput=1:00:00,walltime=2:00:00,file=50gb,mem=15mb script
116 qalter -lcput=30:00,pmem=8mb 123.jobid
117 or in a qsub script as a directive:
119 #PBS -l cput=1:00:00,walltime=2:00:00,file=50gb,mem=15mb
121
123 The resource values take the following units:
124 time specifies a maximum time period the resource can be used. Time
126 is expressed in seconds as an integer, or in the form:
127 [[hours:]minutes:]seconds[.milliseconds]
128 size specifies the maximum amount in terms of bytes or words. It is
130 expressed in the form integer[suffix] The suffix is a multi‐
131 plier defined in the following table, The size of a word is the
132 word size on the execution host.
133 b or w bytes or words.
135 kb or kw Kilo (1024) bytes or words.
137 mb or mw Mega (1,048,576) bytes or words.
139 gb or gw Giga (1,073,741,824) bytes or words.
141 unitary The maximum amount of a resource which is expressed as a simple
143 integer.
