This policy brings together seven common commands and tools initiated by the Baseline Configuration Team. The seven commands, available on all HPCMP allocated systems and utility servers at each of the DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs), are as follows in alphabetical order:
check_license - This command checks the status of ten HPCMP shared applications grouped into two distinct categories: Software License Buffer (SLB) applications and non-SLB applications. The individual applications in the two categories are as follows:
SLB: Accelrys, Abaqus, Cobalt, ACFD, MATLAB
Non-SLB: ANSYS, CFD++, LS-Dyna, Star-CCM, Total View

node_use - This command displays memory-use and load-average information for all login nodes of the system on which it is executed. Information on memory-use and load average may help users in their choice of the node on which they wish to do their interactive work. For more details, click on additional information.
qpeek - This batch job monitoring command returns the standard output (STDOUT) and standard error (STDERR) messages for any submitted PBS job from the start of execution until the job run is complete.
qview - This command displays various reports about jobs in the queuing system. Among the attributes that are displayed are job number, user name, queue name, job name, cores requested, wall time requested and used, and job status. The command can also display the reason jobs are in a Queued state, the maximum wall time remaining for running jobs, and a "load percentage" based on cores requested versus cores available. Finally, the reports can be filtered according to queue name, user name, status, and job number. For more details, click on additional information.
show_queues - This command displays current queuing system information. Attributes included in the queueing information are: queue name, maximum wall time, maximum cores, jobs (running and pending), cores (running and pending) and queue running. The command also displays node usage information (cores available, cores running and cores free). For more details, click on additional information.
show_storage - This command produces two reports on quota and usage information. The default report provides quota and usage information for the storage areas in which the user owns data on the current system. The second report, produced by show_quota -s, provides quota and usage information for the storage areas in which the user owns data on all systems at the local center. For more details, click on additional information.
show_usage - This command produces two reports on the allocation and usage status of each subproject under which a user may compute. The default report provides allocation and usage information for all subprojects the user has account on the current system. The second report, produced by show_usage –s, provides allocation and usage information for all subprojects the user has an account on all the systems at the local center. For more details, click on additional information.
All seven commands included in this policy will be made available in the user's default PATH on all HPCMP allocated machines.
