Host name: Fully qualified domain name of the host you are adding.
Operating system: Name of the operating system that runs on the host.
Architecture: Architecture of the host processors.
GigaFlops: GigaFlops of the host.
Network bandwidth: Network bandwidth of the host in kilobits per
second.
Memory size: Memory size of the host in Megabytes.
CPU count: Number of CPUs that the host has.
Min port and Max port: Port range to be used for machines that have
inbound port restrictions. If you think that machine may have inbound
port restrictions and you don’t know them, please consult with the
machine administrators. The default values match the full port range.
Globus path: Full path of the Globus installation prefix. If you don’t
know it, you may ask your administrators.
GRID superscalar path: Full path of the GRID superscalar installation
prefix. If you don’t know, you may ask your administrators.
Some of these parameters are flexible in the sense that you can set GigaFlops as
effective or peak, Memory as physical, free, virtual, … The only requirement is that
you give the same meaning to these attributes here and when specifying constraints at
the jobs (see chapter 2.7).
The second tab contains queue information. Queues are commonly used in
machines that have many processors and in clusters with many nodes. If the host you
are adding has globus configured to use queues, then you must configure them,
otherwise you can skip this part. The queues tab looks like this:
