NAME

       pbs_resources_solaris - pbs resources on SUN Solaris

DESCRIPTION

       This  page  summarizes  the  resources  supported by PBS for Sun workstations running Solaris 2.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.

       pmem      Maximum  amount  of physical memory (workingset) used by any single process of the job.  Units:
                 size.

       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,vmem=15mb script
       qalter -lcput=30:00 123.jobid

       or in a qsub script as a directive:

       #PBS -l cput=1:00:00,walltime=2:00:00,file=50gb,vmem=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.
