16.3.4 Simulation Specific Configuration

View the Simulation configuration demo.

To use any Moab simulation parameter, the MODE attribute of SCHEDCFG must be set to SIMULATION. Once set, the following parameters control the environment, behavior, and policies used within the simulation:

• Simulation Resources
  • SIMNODECONFIGURATION - Specifies node configuration policies.
  • SIMNODECOUNT - Limits number of nodes loaded.
  • SIMRESOURCETRACEFILE - Specifies source of node traces.
• Simulation Workload Specification, Queuing, and Management
  • SIMCPUSCALINGPERCENT - Adjusts job walltime.
  • SIMDEFAULTJOBFLAGS - Sets default job flags.
  • SIMFLAGS - Adjusts processing of workload traces.
  • SIMIGNOREJOBFLAGS - Ignores specified job flags if specified in workload traces.
  • SIMINITIALQUEUEDEPTH - Specifies simulation backlog.
  • SIMJOBSUBMISSIONPOLICY - Specifies how simulation backlog is managed.
  • SIMPURGEBLOCKEDJOBS - Removes jobs that can never run.
  • SIMWORKLOADTRACEFILE - Specifies source of job traces.
• Time/Iteration Management
  • SIMAUTOSHUTDOWN - Shuts down when all jobs have been scheduled.
  • SIMEXITITERATION - Exits simulation on specified iteration.
  • SIMSTARTTIME - Sets simulation clock to specified time.
  • SIMSTOPITERATION - Pauses simulation on specified iteration.
  • SIMTIMERATIO - Adjusts simulation time as a ratio of real time.
• General Simulation Management
  • SIMRMRANDOMDELAY - Inserts artificial delays into simulation resource manager queries.
