NAME

       accounting - Sun Grid Engine accounting file format

DESCRIPTION

       An  accounting  record  is written to the Sun Grid Engine accounting file for each job having finished. The accounting file is processed by
       qacct(1) to derive accounting statistics.

FORMAT

       Each job is represented by a line in the accounting file. Empty lines and lines which contain one character or less are ignored.   Account-
       ing record entries are separated by colon (':') signs. The entries denote in their order of appearance:

   qname
       Name of the cluster queue in which the job has run.

   hostname
       Name of the execution host.

   group
       The effective group id of the job owner when executing the job.

   owner
       Owner of the Sun Grid Engine job.

   job_name
       Job name.

   job_number
       Job identifier - job number.

   account
       An account string as specified by the qsub(1) or qalter(1) -A option.

       priority
	      Priority value assigned to the job corresponding to the priority parameter in the queue configuration (see queue_conf(5)).

   submission_time
       Submission time (GMT unix time stamp).

   start_time
       Start time (GMT unix time stamp).

   end_time
       End time (GMT unix time stamp).

   failed
       Indicates  the  problem	which occurred in case a job could not be started on the execution host (e.g. because the owner of the job did not
       have a valid account on that machine). If Sun Grid Engine tries to start a job multiple times, this may lead to	multiple  entries  in  the
       accounting file corresponding to the same job ID.

   exit_status
       Exit  status  of the job script (or Sun Grid Engine specific status in case of certain error conditions).  The exit status is determined by
       following the normal shell conventions.	If the command terminates normally the value of the command is its exit status.  However,  in  the
       case  that  the	command  exits abnormally, a value of 0200 (octal), 128 (decimal) is added to the value of the command to make up the exit
       status.

	      For example: If a job dies through signal 9 (SIGKILL) then the exit status becomes 128 + 9 = 137.

   ru_wallclock
       Difference between end_time and start_time (see above).

       The remainder of the accounting entries follows the contents of the standard UNIX rusage structure as described in getrusage(2).  Depending
       on the operating system where the job was executed some of the fields may be 0.	The following entries are provided:

	      ru_utime
	      ru_stime
	      ru_maxrss
	      ru_ixrss
	      ru_ismrss
	      ru_idrss
	      ru_isrss
	      ru_minflt
	      ru_majflt
	      ru_nswap
	      ru_inblock
	      ru_oublock
	      ru_msgsnd
	      ru_msgrcv
	      ru_nsignals
	      ru_nvcsw
	      ru_nivcsw

   project
       The project which was assigned to the job.

   department
       The department which was assigned to the job.

   granted_pe
       The parallel environment which was selected for that job.

   slots
       The number of slots which were dispatched to the job by the scheduler.

   task_number
       Array job task index number.

   cpu
       The cpu time usage in seconds.

   mem
       The integral memory usage in Gbytes cpu seconds.

   io
       The amount of data transferred in input/output operations.

   category
       A string specifying the job category.

   iow
       The io wait time in seconds.

   pe_taskid
       If this identifier is set the task was part of a parallel job and was passed to Sun Grid Engine via the qrsh -inherit interface.

   maxvmem
       The maximum vmem size in bytes.

   arid
       Advance	reservation identifier. If the job used resources of an advance reservation then this field contains a positive integer identifier
       otherwise the value is "0" .

   ar_submission_time
       If the job used resources of an advance reservation then this field contains the submission time (GMT  unix  time  stamp)  of  the  advance
       reservation, otherwise the value is "0" .
