Dear William, Thanks for your response. Yes, I know that the admin can do this for me and save me time, but the an 8-core parallel environment may not solve my problem in terms of flexibility. That is, there could be instances in which, I want a job running 6 cores in node#1 and 6 cores in node#2. That is why, I am asking for a non-admin solution.
For example, is there a way to restrict the number of cores per node on a memory basis? Or more simply, is there a way (at all) at the user-level to restrict the number of cores per node? -rs >* hi, *>* *>* i am trying the number of cores per node and i checked google and i found *>* the following link: *>* *>* http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.clustering.gridengine.users/18883 *>* *>* but, i can't access all the links provided in this website. *>* *>* so, my question is: how can i limit the number of cores per node?

Grid Engine is a very flexible scheduler that can be set up in a number of ways. If the admin has set one up you could use a PE with an allocation_rule of 8. Otherwise you could look for a per slot consumable resource that you don't care about and request 1/8th of the amount available per host. This would only work if the scheduler is set up so that you get or can request exclusive access to the hosts. >* best, *>* -rs *>* * On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 8:12 AM, S.
