Just a thought here: The actual parameters that are passed to the scheduler are not necessarily hard-coded. Meaning, at least with SGE, specifying the number of cores can be: qsub -pe threads=8 or qsub -pe cores=8 or qsub -pe jiffies=8 and same thing for memory limitation (e.g. "-l virtual_free=800M"). The reason is that those resources (e.g. "threads", "cores", "virtual_free") are just identifiers, and they are created and configured by whomever installed SGE - they are not built-in or hard-coded). So just be careful in your design/implementation when automatically translating XML resources to hard-coded parameters. If you do hard-code them, just make sure the specifically document it (i.e. Galaxy expect the SGE threads parameter to be "-pe threads=8" and nothing else). -gordon ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
