New PBS Command Enables Release of Idle Nodes from Jobs Running on Merope05 May, 2016
The new pbs_release_nodes command enables you to release nodes from jobs running on Merope when it benefits you to do so. For example, during post-processing steps, most of the nodes held by a job are idle; when you release those nodes, the job accounting system tracks the release and adjusts the SBU amount charged for your job accordingly. You may also be able to reduce queue wait time for your workflow. To learn how to use the pbs_release_nodes command, see the following Knowledge Base article: Releasing Idle Nodes from Jobs Running on Merope If you have any questions, please contact the NAS Control Room staff at support@nas.nasa.gov, (800) 331-8737, or (650) 604-4444. |
