Question - Queues in RSPLUS and "rsbatch"
What is the difference between the different queues for batch processing
on RSPLUS (e.g. 1nd, e_1nd , sa_1nd, etc.)?
Answer -
The "unadorned" queues are the "public" queues and the batch work runs on
"rsbatch" nodes. The "e_" queues are the engineering queues (which also
existed on the SP2). Jobs run in these queues run on PaRC nodes. The "sa_"
queues are restricted to members of the SA group and jobs submitted to
these queues run on dedicated batch systems (N.B. they are now
obsolete and will soon disappear.)
The command "bqueues -l" gives you a description of
each queue. Also "bclusters" shows that "1nd" is an "rsbatch"
queue and "e_1nd" a parc queue:
they are dispatched to different clusters.
