sge_submit_workers(1) Cooperative Computing Tools sge_submit_workers(1)

NAME

sge_submit_workers - submit work_queue_worker to a SUN Grid Engine (SGE).

SYNOPSIS

sge_submit_workers [options] <servername> <port> <num-workers>

when auto mode is not enabled for the worker, or

sge_submit_workers [options] <num-workers>

when auto mode is enabled for the worker.

DESCRIPTION

sge_submit_workers schedules the execution of work_queue_worker(1) on the SUN Grid Engine (SGE) through its job submission interface, qsub. The number of work_queue_worker scheduled and run is given by the num-workers argument.

The servername and port arguments specify the hostname and port number of the master for the work_queue_worker to connect. These two arguments become optional when the auto mode option is specified for work_queue_worker.

OPTIONS

-M, --master-name=<name>
Name of the preferred master for worker. (auto mode enabled)
-N, --name=<name>
Preferred project name for work_queue_worker to connect. (auto mode enabled)
-C, --catalog=<catalog>
Set catalog server for work_queue_worker to <catalog>. <catalog> format: HOSTNAME:PORT.
-t, --timeout=<seconds>
Abort work_queue_worker after this amount of idle time (default=900s).
-d, --debug=<subsystem>
Enable debugging on worker for this subsystem (try -d all to start).
-w, --tcp-window-size=<size>
Set TCP window size
-i, --min-backoff=<time>
Set initial value for backoff interval when worker fails to connect to a master. (default=1s)
-b, --max-backoff=<time>
Set maxmimum value for backoff interval when worker fails to connect to a master. (default=60s)
-z, --disk-threshold=<size>
Set available disk space threshold (in MB). When exceeded worker will clean up and reconnect. (default=100MB)
-A, --arch=<arch>
Set architecture string for the worker to report to master instead of the value in uname.
-O, --os=<os>
Set operating system string for the worker to report to master instead of the value in uname.
-s, --workdir=<path>
Set the location for creating the working directory of the worker.
-P, ----password=<file>
Password file to authenticate workers to master.
 --cores <cores>
Set the number of cores each worker should use (0=auto). (default=1)
 --memory <size>
Manually set the amonut of memory (in MB) reported by this worker.
 --disk <size>
Manually set the amount of disk (in MB) reported by this worker.
 -j
Use job array to submit workers.
 -p <parameters>
SGE qsub parameters.
 -h,--help
Show help message.

EXIT STATUS

On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.

EXAMPLES

Submit 10 worker instances to run on SGE and connect to a specific master: 

sge_submit_workers master.somewhere.edu 9123 10

Submit 10 work_queue_worker instances to run on SGE in auto mode with their preferred project name set to Project_A and abort timeout set to 3600 seconds:

sge_submit_workers -a -t 3600 -M Project_A 10
