Name
This is the name of the job of the job so it can be easily identified in the Qube! UI. Priority
Every job in Qube is assigned a numeric 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
Instances This is the number of times you would like to spawn a session of your application. The default of -1 means <what>?copies of the application that will run at the same time across the network. So the default is silly.
Examples: On a 12 slot(core) machine running Maya if you set
"Instances" to 4
"Reservations" to "host.processors=3"
Qube! will open 4 sessions of Maya on the worker simultaneously consuming Worker(s) simultaneously, which may consume all slots/cores on a given Worker. if you set
"Instances" to 1
"Reservations" to "host.processors=1+"
Qube will open 1 session of Maya on the worker a Worker, consuming all slots/cores ("host.processors=1+" is used for all slots/cores). Max Instances
Something has to go hereIf resources are available, Qube! will spawn more than 'Instances' copies of the application, but no more than 'Max Instances'. The default means there is no maximum.
