Solution

RSM Roles & Terminology

When working with Remote Solve Manager (RSM), there are a few essential terms to understand regarding the components of RSM:

Term Definition
Job A processing task submitted from a client application
Job Script Used to perform a processing task
Job Template Used to customize a job
Client Machine Machine where Ansys Workbench and other Ansys applications are installed
Client Application Ansys application that submits jobs to RSM
HPC Resource A system that support High Performance Computing, such as a cluster or cloud environment
Node A single computer
Head Node In a multi-node system, computer responsible for scheduling
Execution Node In a multi-node system, one or more computers responsible for computational work
Queue A list of execution nodes suited for a particular type of job
RSM Queue Queue that contains RSM jobs and maps to appropriate HPC Queue
HPC Queue Queue with one or more execution nodes assigned to it, which are the resources that will be utilized to execute a job
HPC Configuration A set of properties that specify information about an HPC resource

File Handling

When a job is submitted to RSM from a client application, input files are transferred from the client's working directory to the HPC staging directory, and when the job has finished, output files requested by the client are transferred back to the client application.

The directories are:

Term Definition
Client Working Directory Location of job input files on the client machine. The location of this directory is controlled by the client application
HPC Staging Directory A shared directory that all HPC nodes can access
HPC Job Directory Jobs can be run in the HPC staging directory, or in a scratch directory local to the execution node

File Transfer Methods

RSM utilizes one of the following methods to transfer files from the client to the HPC resource:

  • RSM internal socket file transfer
  • Operating System file transfer (network share)
  • External mechanism (such as SSH)
  • No file transfer (client directory is under the HPC staging directory)
