Some of our compute nodes have multiple versions of specific resources and
I'm looking for an easy way to enable users match their job requirement
against the per-node list.
For example software package "foobar" might exist on the following nodes
with these versions:
node_a: foobar 7, 7.5
node_b: foobar 7, 7.5
node_c: foobar 6.5
node_d: foobar 7.5, 8
node_e: foobar 7.5, 8
Is there a way to define a per-host complex attribute that consists of
a list of discrete values, so users can construct a submit command that
will do an execat (non-regex) match against the list?
Using qconf syntax, this could be:
qconf -mattr exechost complex_values versions=[7|7.5] node_a
qconf -mattr exechost complex_values versions=[6.5] node_c
qconf -mattr exechost complex_values versions=[7.5|8] node_d
Then a user could run:
qsub -l foobar=7.5
and the job would run on either node_a or node_d.
Is this possible wtih complex_values using SGE 8.1.6?
I think I could achieve this with a JSV that takes the user-supplied
requirement for the 'foobar' version and does a lookup against an external
list, but that's not ideal.
Thanks,
Mark
