Figure 19. Sample PVM 3.3 Job Command File

# @ executable = my_PVM_program # @ job_type = pvm3 # @ parallel_path = /home/LL_userid/cmds/pvm3/$PVM_ARCH:$PVM_ROOT/lib/$PVM_ARCH # @ class = PVM3 # @ requirements = (Pool == 4) # @ output = my_PVM_program.$(cluster).$(process).out # @ error = my_PVM_program.$(cluster).$(process).err # @ min_processors = 8 # @ max_processors = 10 # @ queue

Note the following requirements for PVM 3.3 (RS6K architecture) jobs:

• The job must have job_type = pvm3.
