Name
This is the name of the job of the job so i=
t can be easily identified in the Qube! UI.
Priority
Every job in Qube is assigned a numeri=
c priority. Priority 1 is higher than priority 100. This is similar to 1st =
place, 2nd place, 3rd place, etc. The default priority assigned to a job is=
9999.
Instances
This is the number of copies of the a=
pplication that will run at the same time across the network. The combination of "Instances=3D1" an=
d "Max Instances=3D-1" means that this job will take as much of t=
he farm as it can, and all jobs will share evenly across the farm.
Examples:
On a 12 slot(core) machine running Maya if you set
"Ins=
tances" to 4
"Reservations" to "hos=
t.processors=3D3"
Qube! will open 4 sessions of Ma=
ya on the Worker(s) simultaneously, which may consume all slots/cores on a =
given Worker.
if you set
"Instances" to 1
&q=
uot;Reservations" to "host.processors=3D1+"
Qube will open 1 session of Maya on a Worker, consuming all slots/cores=
("host.processors=3D1+" is used for all slots/cores).
Max Instances
If resources are available, Qu=
be! will spawn more than 'Instances' copies of the application, but no more=
than 'Max Instances'. The default of -1 means there is no maximum. If this=
is set to 0, then it won't spawn more than 'Instances' copies.
