pbs_release_nodes Command Now Available on Pleiades, Electra, and Merope16 May, 2017
The pbs_release_nodes command, which was previously available only on Merope, is now available on Pleiades and Electra. This PBS command enables you to release nodes from a running job when it is beneficial to do so—for example, when most nodes in a job are idle during post-processing steps in a job script. The job accounting system tracks the release and adjusts the SBUs charged for your job accordingly. You may also be able to reduce queue wait time for your workflow by using pbs_release_nodes. To learn how to use the pbs_release_nodes command, see the following Knowledge Base article: Releasing Idle Nodes from Running Jobs If you have any questions, please contact the NAS Control Room staff at support@nas.nasa.gov, (800) 331-8737, or (650) 604-4444. |
