Setting Up License Checking for Queueing Systems
On large clusters, it is possible for jobs to fail because there are too few licenses for all the jobs to run. A mechanism has been provided to ensure that a queued job will not run unless all the licenses it requires are available. This facility is available for the SGE 6.0, PBS Pro 10.4, and Platform LSF 6.2, and Slurm queueing systems. The configuration process is described in detail in the topics listed below, for each of the queueing systems that support license checking.
