--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : torque
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 2.5.5
Release : 1.el6
URL : http://www.clusterresources.com/products/torque/
Summary : Tera-scale Open-source Resource and QUEue manager
Description :
TORQUE (Tera-scale Open-source Resource and QUEue manager) is a resource
manager providing control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes.
TORQUE is based on OpenPBS version 2.3.12 and incorporates scalability,
fault tolerance, and feature extension patches provided by USC, NCSA, OSC,
the U.S. Dept of Energy, Sandia, PNNL, U of Buffalo, TeraGrid, and many
other leading edge HPC organizations.
This package holds just a few shared files and directories.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The license for torque changes from "OpenPBS" to "OpenPBS and
TORQUEv1.1"
bugs (b) and enhancements (e) included in the update from 2.5.4 -> 2.5.5
include:
* b - change so gpus get written back to nodes file
* e - make it so that even if an array request has multiple consecutive '%' the
slot limit will be set correctly
* b - Fixed bug in job_log_open where the global variable logpath was freed instead of
joblogpath.
* b - Fixed memory leak in function procs_requested.
* b - Validated incoming data for escape_xml to prevent a seg-fault with incoming null
pointers
* e - Added submit_host and init_work_dir as job attributes. These two values are now
displayed with a qstat -f. The submit_host is the name of the host from where the job was
submitted. init_work_dir is the working directory as in PBS_O_WORKDIR.
* e - change so blcr checkpoint jobs can restart on different node. Use configure
--enable-blcr to allow.
* b - remove the use of a GNU specific function, and fix an error for solaris builds
* b - Updated PBS_License.txt to remove the implication that the software is not freely
redistributable.
* b - remove the $PBS_GPUFILE when job is done on mom
* b - fix a race condition when issuing a qrerun followed by a qdel that caused the job to
be queued instead of deleted sometimes.
* e - Implemented Bugzilla Bug 110. If a host in the nodes file cannot be resolved at
startup the server will try once every 5 minutes until the node will resolve and it will
add it to the nodes list.
* e - Added a "create" method to pbs_server init.d script so a serverdb filecan
be created if it does not exist at startup time. This is an enhancement in reference to
Bugzilla bug 90.
* e - Add code to verify the group list as well when VALIDATEGROUPS is set in torque.cfg
(backported from 3.0.1)
* b - Fix a bug where if geometry requests are enabled and cpusets are enabled, the
cpuset wasn't deleted unless a geometry request was made. (backported from 3.0.1)
* b - Fix a race condition when starting pbs_mom with the -q option. exitstatus was
getting overwritten and as a result jobs would not always be requeued to pbs_server but
were being deleted instead. (backported from 3.0.1)
* e - Add a configure option --with-tcp-retry-limit to prevent potential 4+ hour hangs on
pbs_server. We recommend --with-tcp-retry-limit=2 (backported from 3.0.1)
* b - preserve the order on array strings in TORQUE, like the route_destinations for a
routing queue (backported from 3.0.1)
* b - fix bugzilla #111, multi-line environment variables causing errors in TORQUE
(backported from 3.0.1)
* b - allow apostrophes in Mail_Users attributes, as apostrophes are rare but legal email
characters (backported from 3.0.1)
* b - Fixed a problem in parse_node_token where the local static variable pt would be
advanced past the end of the line input if there is no newline character at the end of the
nodes file.
