Resource Throttling
In some cases, you may wish to restrict the number of a feature which are consumed by Accelerator jobs, to leave some for 'fast' or interactive use.
To accomplish this, you can use an auxiliary resource called
throttle_<resource> to restrict the number of Accelerator jobs. For example, you have 15 licenses of hsim, and want
to leave 1 free for jobs that bypass the Accelerator system. You
would create a resource 'throttle_hsim' with a count of 14, by adding statements
like this. Map
hsim_license
to throttle_hsim
, so
that when the throttle resource is exhausted, jobs that need hsim will queue. Often
such resources are named
Limit:<something>
.vtk_flexlm_monitor hsim hsim_license throttle_hsim
vtk_resourcemap_set throttle_hsim 14
