Setting the Third-Party DRM Settings

You can set options for an individual activity in the simulation process when that adapter is dispatched with a third-party DRM, such as LSF, PBS Professional, or Windows HPC. These settings affect the job used to dispatch the workitem at run time.

  1. Select an activity.
  2. From the context toolbar, click Show Activity Options.
    The Activity Options dialog box appears.
  3. Click the Affinities tab.
  4. From the Resource manager list, select LSF.
  5. Enter the following information:
    OptionDescription
    Job name Specify the name of the LSF job. Refer to the bsub "-N" option on the bsub man page for more information.
    Job group Specify the group name. Refer to the bsub "-g" option on the bsub man page for more information.
    Hosts Specify the hosts that can run this workitem. Refer to the bsub "-m" option for more information.
    # of CPUs If the activity is part of a co-simulation group, the count of total number of CPUs for that co-simulation group is displayed. If the activity is not part of a co-simulation group, no number is displayed.
    Resources Specify the LSF resources used to dispatch this workitem. Refer to the bsub "-R" option on the bsub man page for more information.
    Begin time Specify the minimum start time for this LSF job. Refer to the bsub "-b" option on the bsub man page for more information.
    End time Specify the maximum termination deadline for this job. Refer to the bsub "-t" option on the bsub man page for more information.
    Run time limit Specify the amount of time the job should run before ending.
    Additional bsub arguments Specify any additional arguments to bsub for this workitem, supplied to bsub exactly as typed here. Refer to the bsub man page for more information on the additional arguments that are available.
    Exclusive execution For function adapters, select this option to run only this adapter on a 3DOrchestrate station during execution. This option can be useful because function adapters are often used to drive commercial or proprietary application programs that require a large amount of main storage. Occasionally, these programs require so much storage that it is not feasible to run more than one adapter at a time on any given 3DOrchestrate station. When a selected adapter is run on a station, no other adapter will run on that station, giving the adapter's application program maximum access to the station's resources.

    Note: The options listed above apply to a LSF DRM system; similar options apply to the other third-party DRM systems.

  6. Click Ok to save your changes and to close the Activity Options dialog box.
