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. (de‐
fault=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
