NAME¶

torque_submit_workers - submit work_queue_worker to a Torque cluster.

SYNOPSIS¶

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

DESCRIPTION¶

torque_submit_workers schedules the execution of work_queue_worker(1) on the Torque batch system 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 <cores>

Set the number of cores each worker should use (0=auto). (default=1)

 -C <catalog>

Set catalog server for work_queue_worker to <catalog>. <catalog> format: HOSTNAME:PORT.

 -t <seconds>

Abort work_queue_worker after this amount of idle time (default=900s).

 -d <subsystem>

Enable debugging on worker for this subsystem (try -d all to start).

 -w <size>

Set TCP window size

 -i <time>

Set initial value for backoff interval when worker fails to connect to a manager. (default=1s)

 -b <time>

Set maxmimum value for backoff interval when worker fails to connect to a manager. (default=60s)

 -z <size>

Set available disk space threshold (in MB). When exceeded worker will clean up and reconnect. (default=100MB)

 -A <arch>

Submit 10 worker instances to run on Torque and connect to a specific manager:

torque_submit_workers manager.somewhere.edu 9123 10

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