I'm a bit confused by the new nifty settings that you've just suggested, and by the MAUI/TORQUE relationship with it. Maybe I should expand my question:
We have one MAUI/Torque server with 3 queues. The user groups have a MAXPROC soft/hard values (according to our usage policy). Is the following configuration suggested? - In qmgr : * unset the resources_max.ncpus from both server and queue levels * unset the resources_default.ncpus from both server and queue levels * should I make sure any other settings are unset? In qsub: * Ask the users that needs 4 processors on the same node to use the nodes=1:ppn=4 (instead of "NCPUS=4) Question is: If I remove the resources_max.ncpus from the queue level - how will MAUI/PBS know how much procs does the entire cluster has? Should I set it somewhere else not mentioned here?
