Job Spooler (JOB_SPOOLER)

View Product Datasheet (PDF)

A GENOA client may send remote analysis jobs to a central GENOA job server. Using a spooling architecture for job queues, this may provide efficient parallel job performances and management of hardware resources. The jobs are processed as a whole and are not broken up into partial jobs like MPI and other parallel job methods. Therefore the job spooler works on a global macro level where it sends an executable job to be performed completely on a specific target workstation.

Features

·         Remote job runs without consuming local client resources.

·         Handle large number of jobs (100+).

·         Virtual Job Server capability allows job distribution to multiple Job Spooler servers.

·         May use secured username & password logins.

·         Ideal management of analysis resources.

Applications/Benefits:                      

·         Parallel jobs to maximize high performance workstations for users and for modules that need parallel jobs to run (A&B Allowables, Parametric Carpet Plots, Probabilistic runs, etc).

·         Simplify licensing by installing license on one server with multiple processors where multiple clients can submit jobs for analysis.  Maximum license limit will queue future jobs until they are ready.
