Contiguous=yesno, Mem=size, Mincpus=n | HP XC System 2.x Software

--contiguous=yesno

The --contiguousoption specifies whether or not your job requires a contiguous range of nodes. The default is YES, which demands contiguous nodes, while the alternative (NO) allows noncontiguous allocation.

--mem=size

The -memoption specifies a minimum amount of real memory per node, where size is an integer number of megabytes. See also -vmem.

--mincpus=n

The -mincpusoption specifies a minimum number n of CPUs per node.

--vmem=size

The -vmemoption specifies a minimum amount of virtual memory per node, where size is an integer number of megabytes. See also -mem.

--tmp=size

The -tmpoption specifies a minimum amount of temporary disk space per node, where size is an integer number of megabytes.

-w hosts (--nodelist=hosts)

The -w hosts option specifies by name the individual nodes that must be included in the set of nodes on which your job runs (perhaps along with others unspecified). Option -wis incompatible with srun option -r(--relative). hosts may have any of three formats:

host1,host2,...	A comma-delimited list of node names (for example, n100,
	n200,...)
host[na-nb,nc,...]	A range of node names, perhaps mixed with individual nodes in a
	comma-delimited sublist (for example, n[1-256,500,...])
filename	A file that contains a list of nodes in either of the previous two
	formats (srun interprets any string containing the slash (/)
	character as a file name)

-x hosts (--xclude=hosts)

The -x hosts option specifies by name the individual nodes that must be excluded from the set of nodes on which your job runs (perhaps along with others unspecified). Option -x is incompatible with srun option -r(--relative). hosts may have any of three formats:

host1,host2,...	A comma-delimited list of node names (for example, n100,
	n200,...)
host[na-nb,nc,...]	A range of node names, perhaps mixed with individual nodes in a
	comma-delimited sublist (for example, n[1-256,500,...])
filename	A file that contains a list of nodes in either of the previous two
	formats (srun interprets any string containing the slash (/)
	character as a file name)
