- Database
  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.
- FairShare
- Jobclasses
- Preemption
  Preemption is the process of reserving or revoking resources from other jobs in order to help "important jobs" finish quickly.
- Resource Management
  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.
- Resource Management with RDS
  This is a usage guide for the Resource Data Service (RDS), an alternative service for managing License resources and License-first scheduling in Accelerator.
- Configure Container Integration
- Streaming Data Service
  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.
- Environment Management
  To ensure the correct and repeatable behavior of the tools, the environment must be controlled. This chapter explains how VOV supports multiple reusable environments.
- Directories and Files
- Alerts and Notifications
  - Notification daemon: vovnotifyd
    The vovnotifyd daemon is used to deliver notifications to selected recipients about functions that are related to job events.
  - Configure Email Addresses
    Use the config.tcl file to set the email addresses to be used for each user.
  - Write Localized Health Checks
    The vovnotifyd command runs in the vovsh binary, so all the VTK API procedures are available to you.
  - Alternate Method of Sending Email
    If SMTP is not available, a mailer program could be used instead.
  - Notification of Job Status
    The Accelerator vovnotifyd notification daemon accesses the server's event stream and then sends a notification for jobs that request it.
  - Job Status Triggers
    The daemon vovtriggerd taps the event stream and executes commands that are based on selected events.
  - Alerts
    VOV issues an "alert" when an event requires attention. An alert can range from information that does not require action to an urgent fault that requires immediate action.
- System Tasks
- Upgrade Accelerator
  This section provides instructions to change the software version on which Accelerator runs.
- Storage Aware Scheduling
  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.
- Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Tips
- Backwards Compatibility and Migrating from Previous Versions
  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.
