CreditConstraint

CreditConstraint

is an option that specifies the maximum number of Service Credits to spend doing a particular operation

Details

  • CreditConstraintn specifies that a maximum of n Service Credits should be spent doing a particular operation.
  • The value of n can be an integer or a "Credits" quantity.
  • CreditConstraintInfinity specifies that there should be no limit on the number of Service Credits consumed.
  • When used with RemoteBatchSubmit and RemoteBatchMapSubmit for providers other than "WolframBatch", the value of the CreditConstraint option is used to calculate a time constraint based on the licensing costs of the job.
  • The "WolframBatch" provider monitors Service Credits usage in real time and terminates the job if it exceeds the limit specified with the CreditConstraint option. This is independent of any time limit set with the TimeConstraint option.

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Submit a remote batch job while constraining the amount of credits to be used:

Submit a job to the “AWSBatch” provider with a Service Credits limit:

The credit constraint is converted to a time constraint:

The constraint is based on the job’s kernel license cost:
