ACCOUNTING(5)

NAME
accounting - Grid Engine accounting file format

DESCRIPTION
An accounting record is written to the Grid Engine accounting file for each job having finished. The accounting file is processed by 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. Accounting record entries are separated by colon (':'). 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 Grid Engine job.

  job_name
Job name.

  job_number
Job identifier - job number.

  account
An account string as specified by the or -A option.

priority
    Priority value assigned to the job corresponding to the priority parameter in the queue configuration (see

  submission_time
Submission time (GMT Unix time stamp). For slave tasks of tightly integrated parallel jobs, the submission_time is always set to 0.

  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 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 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 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 Grid Engine via the qrsh -inherit interface.

  maxvmem
The maximum vmem size in bytes.
