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 Workload Specification, Queuing, and Management
  • SIMFLAGS - Adjusts processing of 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.
  • SIMSTARTTIME - Sets simulation clock to specified time.
  • STOPITERATION - Pauses simulation on specified iteration.
  • SIMTIMERATIO - Adjusts simulation time as a ratio of real time.
