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 manager for the work_queue_worker to connect. These two arguments become optional when the auto mode option is specified for work_queue_worker.

  • -C,--catalog=<catalog>
    Set catalog server for work_queue_worker to <catalog>. <catalog> format: HOSTNAME:PORT.
  • -t,--timeout=<seconds>

  • -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>

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
