Nodes are added and removed automatically, though an updated list requires reloading (→ “Reload” button) this page. Every node has its own row.
Name
The job node's name is displayed here. You can enter a name under → “Edit Job” (see below).
...
Here you can see how many threads you can use with the job node. The actual number of simulation threads is shown under in the → “Current Jobs" table under “# threads”.
Status
There is a total of seven messages:
Message | Description |
|---|---|
Ready | The node is available for simulation. |
Disconnected | There is no connection with the manager. |
Ignored | Ignored nodes are those with the “Ignore” flag set to “On”, regardless of whether it is available or not. |
Waiting | The node is currently connected to the manager. If a node stalls on this status for some reason, it can be reconnected with the “retry” action. Usually you can see this message when the node starts to bind itself to the manager. |
Simulating | A simulation is currently in progress. |
Unlicensed | The node cannot be used due lacking a valid license. The “retry” action will appear in this case for a second chance. |
Disabled | The node is disabled. This can happen when the workgroup it belongs to is disabled or has reached its maximum amount of jobs. |
