Re: [Opaltoolkit-users] Specifying the number of processors for aparallel job

[Jennewein, D. M <Dou...@us...>]

Hi, Jane:

 

I looked at the num.procs entry in opal.properties, and determined that
if I set num.procs but do not pass the "n" parameter to the generic
service client I get an error saying that I have not specified the
number of processors for a parallel job.  Also, if I set num.procs to 4
and then launch an opal job with the generic service client passing it
"n 7" to run on 7 processors I get an error saying there are not enough
available processors.  But if I specify 4 or fewer processors the job
runs.  This lead me to believe that num.procs is used to specify the
total processors available for opal jobs.  Is that correct?

Hi Douglas,

 

You can specify the number of processors in
$OPAL_HOME/etc/opal.properties.

How can I specify the number of processors to a parallel job when
submitting via the advanced submission form?

 

I see that the GenericServiceClient has a "n" parameter that allows
this, but I don't see how to do it for web submissions.
