NAME
rmsexec – Runs a sequential program on a lightly loaded node
SYNOPSIS
rmsexec [-hv] [-p partition] [-s stat] [hostname] program [args ...]
OPTIONS
-h Display the list of options.
-v Specifies verbose operation.
-p partition Specifies the target partition. The request will fail if load-balancing is
not enabled on the partition. (See Section 10.2.16).
-s stat Specifies the statistic on which to base the load-balancing calculation
(see below).
DESCRIPTION
The rmsexec program provides a mechanism for running sequential programs on
lightly loaded nodes – nodes, for example, with free memory or low CPU usage. It locates
a suitable node and then runs the program on it.
The user can select a node from a specific partition (of type login or general) with the
-p option. Without the -p option, rmsexec uses the default load-balancing partition
(specified with the lbal-partition attribute in the attributes table). In addition,
the hostname of the node can be specified explicitly. The request will fail if this node is
not available to the user. System administrators may select any node.
The -s option can be used to specify a statistic on which to base the loading calculation.
Available statistics are:
usercpu Percentage of CPU time spent in the user state.
syscpu Percentage of CPU time spent in the system state - a measure of the
I/O load on a node.
idlecpu Percentage of CPU time spent in the idle state.
