NAME

       load_parameters - Grid Engine default load parameters

DESCRIPTION

       The load parameters reported by the execution daemon sge_execd(8) by
       default currently are:

       arch   An architecture string compiled into the sge_execd describing
              the operating system architecture for which the execd is
              targeted.  Possible values include:
                   aix51          for IBM AIX 5.1, 5.3
                   darwin-x86     for Apple Mac OS/X x86
                   darwin-ppc     for Apple Mac OS/X PowerPC
                   hp11      for HP HP-UX 11.x 32-bit
                   hp11-64        for HP HP-UX 11.x 64-bit
                   lx-amd64  for GNU/Linux x86_64
                   lx-x86         for GNU/Linux x86
                   sol-sparc64    for Sun Solaris Sparc64
                   sol-x86        for Sun Solaris x86
                   sol-amd64 for Sun Solaris x86_64
                   win32-x86 for Windows x86
              Note that an sge_execd for a particular architecture may run on
              multiple OS versions.  In this case, the architecture string
              delivered by the execution daemon may be misleading.

       num_proc
              The number of processors provided by the execution host.  The
              host is defined by a single Internet address, i.e. rack mounted
              multi host systems are counted as a cluster rather than a single
              multi headed machine.  In the case of "hardware threads" ("CMT"
              or "SMT"), normally num_proc is the number of such threads which
              are activated.

       The following load information is only available under IBM AIX if Grid
       Engine is built with the perfstat library (which is now the default):

       load_short
              The short time average OS run queue length. It is the first of
              the value triple reported by uptime(1).  Many implementations
              provide a 1 minute average with this value.

       load_medium
              The medium time average OS run queue length. It is the second of
              the value triple reported by uptime(1).  Many implementations
              provide a 5 minute average with this value.

       load_long
              The long time average OS run queue length. It is the third of
              the value triple reported by uptime(1).  Many implementations
              provide a 10 or 15 minute average with this value.

       load_avg
              The same as load_medium.

       np_load_short
              The same as load_short but divided by the number of processors.
              This value allows comparing the load of single and multi-headed
              hosts.

       np_load_medium
              The same as load_medium but divided by the number of processors.
              This value allows comparing the load of single and multi-headed
              hosts.

       np_load_long
              The same as load_long but divided by the number of processors.
              This value allows comparing the load of single and multi-headed
              hosts.

       np_load_avg
              The same as load_avg but divided by the number of processors.
              This value allows comparing the load of single and multi-headed
              hosts.

       cpu    The percentage of CPU time not in idle state.

       The following load information is only available under IBM AIX if Grid
       Engine is built with the perfstat library (which is now the default):

       mem_free
              The amount of free real memory.

       swap_free
              The amount of free swap memory.

       virtual_free
              The sum of mem_free and swap_free.

       mem_used
              The amount of memory used.

       swap_used
              The amount of swap space used.

       virtual_used
              The sum of mem_used and swap_used.

       mem_total
              The total amount of memory (free+used).

       swap_total
              The total amount of swap space (free+used).

       virtual_total
              The sum of mem_total and swap_total.

       The following load information is ONLY available under Windows:

       display_win_gui
              The host is capable of displaying the GUI of a Windows job.

       The following load information is only available if Grid Engine was
       built with the hwloc library (the default) and if hwloc supports the
       system.

       m_topology_inuse
              The host cpu topology string reported by an execution host.
              This might be "NONE" if the topology cannot be determined;
              otherwise it is a string consisting of the upper and lowercase
              letters "S", "C", "T", "c", and "t". The sequence of letters
              within that string represents the hardware topology where "S"
              represents a socket, "C" or "c" a core, and "T" or "t" a
              hardware thread.

              The string "SCCSCCSCCSCC" will returned by a host that has 4
              sockets where each of those sockets has two cores.  All cores
              are available because all "C"s appear in capital letters.

              If lowercase letters are used then this means that the
              corresponding core or thread is already in use because there is
              at least one running Grid Engine job bound to it.

              "SCCSCcSCCscc" means that core 2 on socket 2 and also core 1 and
              core 2 on socket 4 are in use.

       m_topology
              Like m_topology_inuse, except that it represents the
              architecture, not the use of it, i.e. it doesn't contain lower
              case letters.

       m_socket
              Number of sockets available on the reporting host (e.g.
              "SCCSCCSCCSCC" => m_socket=4)

       m_core Number of cores reported for all sockets on a host (e.g.
              "SCCSCCSCCSCC" => m_core=2)

       m_thread
              Number of hardware threads reported for all cores on a host,
              which should be equal to num_proc (e.g. "SCTTCTTCTTCTT" =>
              m_thread=8)

   Static Load Values
       The "static" load values (which may be selected with qhost -l or
       qselect -l) are:  arch, num_proc, mem_total, swap_total, virtual_total,
       m_topology, m_socket, m_core, m_thread.
