NAME

       pbs_resources_hpux11 - pbs resources on HP UX

DESCRIPTION

       This  page  summarizes  the  resources  supported by PBS for systems running HP UX version
       11.x.  These resources are specified by including them in the -l option  argument  on  the
       qsub or qalter command or in the PBS job script.

RESOURCES

       cput      Maximum amount of CPU time used by all processes in the job.  Units: time.

       file      The  largest  size  of  any  single file that may be created by the job.  Units:
                 size.

       nice      The nice value under which the job is to be run.  Units: unitary.

       pcput     Maximum amount of CPU time used by any single process in the job.  Units: time.

       pvmem     Maximum amount of virtual memory used by any single process in the job.   Units:
                 size.

       vmem      Maximum  amount  of  virtual memory used by all concurrent processes in the job.
                 Units: size.

       walltime  Maximum amount of real time during which the job can be in  the  running  state.
                 Units: time.

       arch      Specifies the administrator defined system architecture requried.  This defaults
                 to whatever the PBS_MACH string is set to in "local.mk".  Units: string.

       host      Name of host on which job should be run.  This resource is provided for  use  by
                 the site's scheduling policy.   The allowable values and effect on job placement
                 is site dependent.  Units: string.

       nodes     Number and/or type of nodes to be reserved for exclusive use by  the  job.   The
                 value   is   one   or   more   node_specs   joined   with   the  '+'  character,
                 "node_spec[+node_spec...].  Each node_spec is an number of nodes required of the
                 type  declared  in  the  node_spec  and  a  name  or  one  or  more properity or
                 properities desired for the nodes.  The number, the name, and each properity  in
                 the  node_spec are separated by a colon ':'.  If no number is specified, one (1)
                 is assumed.  Units: string.

                 The name of a node is its hostname.  The properities of nodes are:

                 . ppn=# specifying the number of processors per node requested.  Defaults to 1.

                 . arbitrary string assigned by the system administrator, please check with  your
                   administrator as to the node names and properities available to you.

                 Examples:

                 . To ask for 12 nodes of any type: -l nodes=12

                 . To   ask   for  2  "server"  nodes  and  14  other  nodes  (a  total  of  16):
                   -l nodes=2:server+14
                   The above consist of two node_specs "2:server" and "14".

                 . To ask for (a) 1 node that is a "server" and has a "hippi" interface,  (b)  10
                   nodes that are not servers, and (c) 3 nodes that have a large amount of memory
                   an have hippi:
                   -l nodes=server:hippi+10:noserver+3:bigmem:hippi

                 . To ask for three nodes by name:
                   -l nodes=b2005+b1803+b1813

                 . To ask for 2 processors on each of four nodes:
                   -l nodes=4:ppn=2

                 . To ask for 4 processors on one node:
                   -l nodes=1:ppn=4

                 . To ask for 2 processors on each of two blue nodes and three processors on  one
                   red node:
                   -l nodes=2:blue:ppn=2+red:ppn=3

       host      Allows  a  user  to  specify  the  desired execution location.  This resource is
                 provided for use by the site's scheduling  policy.   The  allowable  values  and
                 effect on job placement is site dependent.  Units: string.

       other     Allows  a  user to specify site specific information.  This resource is provided
                 for use by the site's scheduling policy.  The allowable values and effect on job
                 placement is site dependent.  Units: string.

       software  Allows  a  user  to  specify  software  required by the job.   This is useful if
                 certain software packages are only available on certain  systems  in  the  site.
                 This  resource  is  provided  for  use  by  the  site's  scheduling policy.  The
                 allowable values and effect on job placement is site dependent.  Units: string.

EXAMPLES

       qsub -l nodes=15,walltime=2:00:00 script

       or in a qsub script as a directive:

       #PBS -l nodes=15,walltime=2:00:00

       qsub -l cput=1:00:00,walltime=2:00:00,file=50gb,mem=15mb script
       qalter -lcput=30:00,pmem=8mb 123.jobid

       or in a qsub script as a directive:

       #PBS -l cput=1:00:00,walltime=2:00:00,file=50gb,mem=15mb

RESOURCE UNITS

       The resource values take the following units:

       time    specifies a maximum time period the resource can be used.  Time  is  expressed  in
               seconds as an integer, or in the form:
               [[hours:]minutes:]seconds[.milliseconds]

       size    specifies  the  maximum amount in terms of bytes or words.  It is expressed in the
               form integer[suffix] The suffix is a multiplier defined in  the  following  table,
               The size of a word is the word size on the execution host.

                b or  w    bytes or words.

               kb or kw    Kilo (1024) bytes or words.

               mb or mw    Mega (1,048,576) bytes or words.

               gb or gw    Giga (1,073,741,824) bytes or words.

       unitary The maximum amount of a resource which is expressed as a simple integer.
