I have no experience with PBS and any other work managment system. We need PBS work on our 32-node OSCAR cluster to implement some kinds of work management
Let me describe it briefly. 1. We will always run a very large master-slave program on this cluster. The master will assign independent jobs to avaliable slave nodes and the slave node will process the job and return the result to the master node. This is the main utilization of this cluster. Let's call this large job GA. 2. Sometimes, we need to use this cluster to do other works. (1) We want to power off 8 nodes first, and then use those 8 nodes to do other jobs. And at that time we don't want the GA program to use those 8 nodes,and info the master nodes, those 8 nodes is not avaliable. After finishing our use,then info the master node that those 8 nodes come back. (2) Sometimes, we need to reserve 16 or more nodes to run other programs to get the speedup curves. We neefor serveral minutes, during this time, those 16 nodes are not avaliable for the GA program. And I have get a Administrator Guide from PBS website,but after read it I can not figure out how to do such a thing. Would you like to give me some suggestions?
