I strongly agree with this. If we are running CPU intensive jobs on our cluster, I want to know how loaded they are, which means their load relative to the number of logical CPUs, not physical CPUs. Won't this also screw up the webfrontend, since it uses the load relative to the number of CPUs reported to calculate the overall load on the clusters and rank them in the grid view? It would make them look like they are more loaded than they really are. If you really want this then I suggest adding a new metric for the number of physical CPUs and leave this one as the number of logical CPUs. ~Jason -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jason A.
