Chapter Z
NUMA and Torque
Torque supports two types of Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) systems. This chapter serves as a central information repository for the various configuration settings involved when using either NUMA system configuration.
Torque cannot be configured for both systems at the same.
In this chapter:
Z.22.4 Supported NUMA Systems
Torque supports these two NUMA system configurations:
- NUMA-Aware – Introduced with Torque version 6.0, this configuration supports multi-req jobs and jobs that span hosts. Moab version 9.0 and later is also required.
- NUMA-Suppport – Introduced with Torque version 3.0, this configuration supports only a single instance for pbs_mom that as treated as if there where were multiple nodes running in the cluster. This configuration is only for large-scale SLES systems using SGI Altix and UV hardware.
