ACCOUNTING(5) Sun Grid Engine File Formats ACCOUNTING(5) 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" .
