SubmitArguments - Specify additional arguments to use when submitting job to Platform LSF, PBS Pro, TORQUE, or mpiexec scheduler

Description

SubmitArguments is simply a string that is passed via the bsub or qsub command to the LSF, PBS Pro, or TORQUE scheduler at submit time, or passed to the mpiexec command if using an mpiexec scheduler.

Characteristics

Usage	LSF, PBS Pro, TORQUE, or mpiexec scheduler object
Read-only	Never
Data type	String

Values

LSF Scheduler

Useful SubmitArguments values might be '-m "machine1 machine2"' to indicate that your scheduler should use only the named machines to run the job, or '-R "type==LINUX64"' to use only workers running on 64-bit machines with a Linux operating system. Note that by default the scheduler will attempt to run your job on only nodes with an architecture similar to the local machine's unless you specify '-R "type==any"'.

PBS Pro or TORQUE Scheduler

A value of '-q queuename' submits the job to the queue specified by queuename. A value of '-p 10' runs the job at priority level 10.

mpiexec Scheduler

The following SubmitArguments values might be useful when using an mpiexec scheduler. They can be combined to form a single string when separated by spaces.

Value	Description
-phrase MATLAB	Use MATLAB as passphrase to connect with smpd.
-noprompt	Suppress prompting for any user information.
-localonly	Run only on the local computer.
-host <hostname>	Run only on the identified host.
-machinefile <filename>	Run only on the nodes listed in the specified file (one hostname per line).
