Setting of Maxjob

Multiple remote execution programs can be executed at the same time on each processor in an SMP system. In this case, we can execute a maximum of 4 programs. We describe hostfile for the SMP system as follow.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<OmniRpcConfig>
   <Host name="apple" arch="i386" os="linux">
   <JobScheduler maxjob="4" />
   </Host>
</OmniRpcConfig>

In this description, we set the maxjob attribute as "4" for the JobScheduler element. This shows that the maximum number of remote executable programs executed on the remote host at the same time is 4. Certainly, in a 4-way SMP system, we can run more than 4 jobs, but in practice 4 processes are executed in parallel. Therefore effectiveness may not change.

In this case, the agent invoke multiple rex-es. The relationship is as follows.
