How to install and configure a Computing Element with Torque Server. How to install and configure a Worker Node with Torque

3. Third EELA Tutorial for Managers and Users E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America What is CE? The CE is a service representing a computing resource. Its main functionality is job management (job submission, job control, etc.). For job submission, the CE can work in: –push model –push model (where the job is pushed to a CE for its execution). –pull model –pull model (where the CE asks the WMS for jobs).

4. Third EELA Tutorial for Managers and Users E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America TORQUETORQUE (Tera-scale Open-source Resource and QUEue management) is a resource management providing control over batch jobs and distribuited compute resource. The Torque System is composed by a: –pbs_server –pbs_server which provides the basic batch services such as receiving/creating a batch job or protecting the job against system crashes. –job_scheduler –job_scheduler which contains the site's policy used to decide which job must be executed. –pbs_mom –pbs_mom which places the job into execution. It is also responsible for returning the job’s output to the user. What is Torque?

5. Third EELA Tutorial for Managers and Users E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America What is a Worker Node? The Worker Node (WN) is a set of clients required to run jobs sent by the CE via the Local Resource Management System. It currently includes the: –gLite I/O Client, –the Logging and Bookkeeping Client, –the R-GMA Client and –the WMS Checkpointing library.

16. Third EELA Tutorial for Managers and Users E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Installing CE+Torque Server via apt All the configuration values to sites have to be configured in a site configuration file using key-value pairs. This file is shared among all the different gLite node types. So edit once and keep it in a safe place Create a copy of /opt/glite/yaim/examples/site-info.def template (coming from the lcg-yaim RPM) to your reference directory for the installation (e.g. /root): – cp /opt/glite/yaim/examples/gilda_ig-site-info.def /root/my-site-info.def A good syntax test for your site configuration file is to try to source it manually running the command: – source my-site-info.def
