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 manager 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, --manager-name=<name>

Name of the preferred manager 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 manager. (default=1s)

-b, --max-backoff=<time>

Set maxmimum value for backoff interval when worker fails to connect to a manager. (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 manager instead of the value in uname.

-O, --os=<os>

Set operating system string for the worker to report to manager 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 manager.

--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 manager:

sge_submit_workers manager.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
