promote

Promote job in MATLAB Job Scheduler cluster queue

collapse all in page

    Syntax

    promote(job)
    promote(c,job)

    Description

    promote(job) promotes the job object, job, that is in a MATLAB® Job Scheduler cluster queue.

    If job is not the first job in the queue, promote exchanges the position of job and the job before it in the queue.

    example

    promote(c,job) promotes the job object, job, that is queued in the MATLAB Job Scheduler cluster c.

    If job is not the first job in the queue, promote exchanges the position of job and the job before it in the queue.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Create and submit multiple jobs to the cluster identified by the default cluster profile, assuming that the default cluster profile uses a MATLAB Job Scheduler.

    Create a cluster object.

    c = parcluster;

    Use pause to prevent submissions from running.

    pause(c) % Prevent submissions from running.

    Create jobs and tasks and submit to queue.

    j1 = createJob(c,'Name',"Job A");
t1 = createTask(j1,@rand,1,{10,10});
j2 = createJob(c,'Name',"Job B");
t2 = createTask(j2,{@rand,@magic,@ones},1,{{3,3} {3} {3,3}});
j3 = createJob(c,'Name',"Job C");
t3 = createTask(j3,@rand,1,{10,10},CaptureDiary=true);
submit(j1);submit(j2);submit(j3);

    Examine the queue sequence.

    [pjobs,qjobs,rjobs,fjobs] = findJob(c);
get(qjobs,'Name')
        'Job A'
    'Job B'
    'Job C'

    Promote Job C by one position in its queue:

    promote(j3)

    Examine the new queue sequence.

    [pjobs,qjobs,rjobs,fjobs] = findJob(c);
get(qjobs,'Name')
        'Job A'
    'Job C'
    'Job B'

    Resume processing of the job queue.

    resume(c)

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Job to promote in a MATLAB Job Scheduler cluster queue, specified as a parallel.Job object.

    Example: job = createJob(c)

    Cluster, specified as a parallel.cluster.MJS object that represents MATLAB Job Scheduler cluster compute resources. To create the object, use the parcluster function.

    Example: myCluster = parcluster("myMJSProfile")

    Tips

    • After a call to promote or demote, there is no change in the order of job objects contained in the Jobs property of the MATLAB Job Scheduler cluster object. To see the scheduled order of execution for jobs in the queue, use the findJob function in the form [pending queued running finished] = findJob(c).
