Topic: Batch job


  
 batch - a Whatis.com definition - see also: batch job, batch processing
In a computer, a batch job is a program that is assigned to the computer to run without further user interaction.
The term originated with mainframe computers when punched cards were the usual form of computer input and you put a batch of cards (one batch per program) in a box in the sequence that they were to be fed into the computer by the computer operator.
In some computer systems, batch jobs are said to run in the background and interactive programs run in the foreground.

 Getting Started on the Aspen Linux Cluster
This insures that no one job can monopolize cluster compute nodes indefinitely and underscores the need for users to implement some type of save-restart mechanism in their code so they can restart the job close to where it was stopped and not lose all the work done up to that point.
Once it is started, however, the user's terminal input and output are connected to the job in what appears to be an rlogin session to one of the compute nodes.
A batch job file is simply a shell script containing the set of commands you want run on some set of cluster compute nodes.

 General Batch Use of D0mino
To display an X window from a batch job, you need to make sure you set your DISPLAY environment variable so the window will have somewhere to go and you need to give the window the authority to display on the remote machine.
This considers the number of jobs a user has running, cpu time they have used, and clock time they have used and calculates a priority starting high priority users first.
In this example the user time on the system (85%) exceeds the threshold (.8) and no more jobs are scheduled.

 CS322: Operating Systems History
As hardware and software was developed to create monitors, simple and spooling batch systems and finally multiprogrammed systems, the separation between the user and the computer became more and more pronounced.
Since it is faster to read from a magnetic tape than from a deck of cards, it became common for computer centers to have one or more less powerful computers in addition to there main computer.
One difficulty with simple batch systems is that the computer still needs to read the the deck of cards before it can begin to execute the job.

 Batch Queueing Systems
The Portable Batch System (PBS) is a new suite of software tools that fulfills the growing need for a flexible, networked, multi-platform batch processing environment.
Thus it is not always possible to transfer a condor job to a machine, even though that machine is idle.
All environment variables except those excluded deliberately are passed to the job, and the job will start in the submittors current working directory.

Each machine in the Origin array has a local XFS scratch filesystem (see the Technical Summary for the current machines in the array).
For users' convienence, information on the status of the machines in the Array, LSF queues, and details on all pending and running jobs is also available on the web.

 Batch processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batch processing is the sequential execution of a series of programs ("jobs") on a computer.
The cards or tape would then be passed to the system operator ("sysop") who would schedule the task and later stage feed the program into the the computer.
Because a number of tasks would be 'batched' together rather than be put into the system immediately the tasks were referred to as "batch jobs".
