Accelerator stores historical information about jobs in a relational database. As of version 2015.09, the database is fully integrated and managed as part of Accelerator. This section provides an overview of the components that run and manage the database.
Preemption is the process of reserving or revoking resources from other jobs in order to help "important jobs" finish quickly.
Altair Accelerator includes a subsystem for managing computing resources. This allows the design team to factor in various constraints regarding hardware and software resources, as well as site policy constraints.
This is a usage guide for the Resource Data Service (RDS), an alternative service for managing License resources and License-first scheduling in Accelerator.
The Streaming Data Service (SDS) publishes a time series data stream that can be consumed by existing Kafka systems and compatible reporting tools to monitor VOV projects.
To ensure the correct and repeatable behavior of the tools, the environment must be controlled. This chapter explains how VOV supports multiple reusable environments.
The directory where the top level job is executed must be visible and accessible to both the Accelerator vovserver, which is running on UNIX, and the remote Windows NT machine.
VOV clients and server exchange dependency information by using file names; each file needs a single name that is valid on both the client and the server.
There are multiple methods to define the equivalences used to compute the canonical names of files and directories.
vovserver creates a CSV (comma-separated variable) file containing data about each job that ran. This format may be directly imported into many spreadsheet and database programs. The jobs files are stored in the jobs subdirectory of the vovserver configuration directory.
The vovserver records all events in a journal file that resides in a the subdirectory journals/ of the server configuration directory.
This section provides instructions to change the software version on which Accelerator runs.
This daemon vovfilerd replaces older daemons like vovisilond, vovnetappd and vovregulatord. Also the utility vovfiler_setup is no longer needed. The visualization of the filer information is now done either via the vovfilerd.cgi page or via the utility vovfilerdgui.
This chapter provides information about deprecated features that are still supported. This information is provided should you see older commands in use after a software upgrade or migrating to a newer Accelerator.
