Yes. > Yes, the problem is that you can't address a specific queue in `qrsh -inherit > ...` and if you get several queues on a machine you might have used up the > slots of the queue that is selected first for the `qrsh -inherit ...`. > https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/813 Thanks for this information. Switching the allocation rule from "round_robin" to "fill_up" gets rid of the problem for me, but I am not sure if this is just because less queues are being used on each host. > It should help to have a PE for each queue, but you end up with 9 PEs for > each PE you have right now. But this would limit the maximum size of parallel jobs to the maximum number of slots on a single queue, right? > BUT: What type of parallel applications are you using?
