DESCRIPTION

9       This page summarizes the resources supported by PBS for systems running
10       HP UX version 10.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.

RESOURCES

15       cput      Maximum amount of CPU time used by all processes in the  job.
16                 Units: time.
17
18       file      The  largest  size  of any single file that may be created by
19                 the job.  Units: size.
20
21       nice      The nice value under which the job is to be run.  Units: uni‐
22                 tary.
23
24       pcput     Maximum  amount of CPU time used by any single process in the
25                 job.  Units: time.
26
27       pvmem     Maximum amount of virtual memory used by any  single  process
28                 in the job.  Units: size.
29
30       vmem      Maximum  amount of virtual memory used by all concurrent pro‐
31                 cesses in the job.  Units: size.
32
33       walltime  Maximum amount of real time during which the job  can  be  in
34                 the running state.  Units: time.
35
36       arch      Specifies  the  administrator defined system architecture re‐
37                 quried.  This defaults to whatever the PBS_MACH string is set
38                 to in "local.mk".  Units: string.
39
40       host      Name  of  host  on which job should be run.  This resource is
41                 provided for use by the site's scheduling policy.    The  al‐
42                 lowable values and effect on job placement is site dependent.
43                 Units: string.
44
45       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  property  or  properties
50                 desired  for the nodes.  The number, the name, and each prop‐
51                 erty in the node_spec are separated by a colon  ':'.   If  no
52                 number is specified, one (1) is assumed.  Units: string.
53
54                 The  name of a node is its hostname.  The properties of nodes
55                 are:
56
57                 . ppn=# specifying the number  of  processors  per  node  re‐
58                   quested.  Defaults to 1.
59
60                 . arbitrary  string  assigned  by  the  system administrator,
61                   please check with your administrator as to the  node  names
62                   and properties available to you.
63
64                 Examples:
65
66                 . To ask for 12 nodes of any type: -l nodes=12
67
68                 . 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
72                 . 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
77                 . To ask for three nodes by name:
78                   -l nodes=b2005+b1803+b1813
79
80                 . To ask for 2 processors on each of four nodes:
81                   -l nodes=4:ppn=2
82
83                 . To ask for 4 processors on one node:
84                   -l nodes=1:ppn=4
85
86                 . 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
90       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
95       other     Allows a user to specify site specific information.  This re‐
96                 source  is  provided for use by the site's scheduling policy.
97                 The allowable values and effect on job placement is site  de‐
98                 pendent.  Units: string.
99
100       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.

RESOURCE UNITS

123       The resource values take the following units:
124
125       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
129       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
134                b or  w    bytes or words.
135
136               kb or kw    Kilo (1024) bytes or words.
137
138               mb or mw    Mega (1,048,576) bytes or words.
139
140               gb or gw    Giga (1,073,741,824) bytes or words.
141
142       unitary The maximum amount of a resource which is expressed as a simple
143               integer.
