Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.1 User's Guide

sge_job

The sge_job table contains one record for each array task (one record for non array jobs with the array task number 1) and for each parallel task started in a tightly integrated parallel job.

For N1GE 6.0 systems, a record is created as soon as a job, an array task, or a parallel task is scheduled. It is updated during the job's runtime.

A short description of N1GE jobs, array jobs, parallel jobs and their differences can be found in this Sun Grid Engine User's Guide. The Glossary may be especially useful as an introduction.
