Listing of Tables
The configured_nodes field stores the subset of nodes that were configured in when
the partition was started.
The timeslice field stores the interval in seconds between periodic rescheduling of
parallel jobs. Time slicing is disabled when this field is null, the default.
The timelimit field stores the maximum interval in seconds for which CPUs in a
partition may remain allocated. Time limits are disabled when this field is null, the
default.
The memlimit field stores the default memory limit in megabytes per CPU for jobs
running on this partition.
10.2.17 The Projects Table
The projects table shown in Table 10.23, lists all of the projects that have been
defined. A project is a list of users. Membership of the project is specified in the
projects field of the users table (see Section 10.2.24). All accounting records include
the project to which a user’s job is being billed (see Table 10.2).
Table 10.23: Projects Table
Field Type Description
name char(16) project name
description text label describing the project
10.2.18 The Resources Table
The resources table shown in Table 10.24, contains one entry for each current resource
request. The entries in this table are maintained by the Partition Manager, pmanager
(see Section 4.4).
The resources table can grow rapidly. Running the table administration program,
rmstbladm, with the -c option removes old entries. This should be done periodically
using a cron script. See Page 5-44 for details. The data-lifetime attribute in the
attributes table (see Section 10.2.3) determines how old the entries must be before
they are removed.

Field Type Description
