Why use DMTK / SASTK with WLM?
The benefits of using DMTK / SASTK with WLM are the:
• Examples that show how express lanes can be used to quickly
complete urgent jobs
• Ability to define goals for job duration so that jobs get just the right
amount of CPU resources—not too much or too little—to finish
within user-specified time ranges
For examples showing how to set up these types management, see the
files with names ending in “.wlm” in the directories
/opt/wlm/toolkits/duration/config/ and /opt/wlm/toolkits/sas/config/.
NOTE DMTK does not reduce the amount of CPU time an application must
have to complete; it merely attempts to regulate the application’s access
to CPU resources. For example, if an application takes one hour to
complete when using 100% of the CPU resources, DMTK cannot make its
duration less than one hour.
