How to use job scheduling library(ex> PBS torque) for KNL ??

[chang_hwi_l_]

Hello.

I wonder how to apply job scheduling library for KNL processor.

I used KNC coprocessor as GPU through PBS torque for job scheduling.

(http://www.pbsworks.com/PBSProductGT.aspx?n=PBS-Professional&c=Overview-and-Capabilities&d=PBS-Professional-and-the-Intel-Xeon-Phi-coprocessor)

However, I think that KNL processor can be dealt with one 60 core processor and there is no different xeon processor for job scheduling. 

It is possible to use normal processor job scheduling for KNL processor?

I haven't used PBS, but the above link's splash page has:

Resources can exist at various levels (host, server, queue)

This seems to imply "resources" need not be coprocessor. On KNL you would have "self" as resource, or, more likely, PBS would run on other host/workstaton in cluster/lan, then use (schedule) the KNL over the network (not unlike running MPI jobs).

Thanks jim

I made successfully a job scheduling for cluster through your advice.

As you say, KNL no need be a coproceesor and can be regarded as normal processor for job scheduling.
