AFAICS this won't speed up the overall workflow as it's the same user. The last instance of the last array job will finish at the same time, even if two ore more jobs are interleaved. Nevertheless you can limit the number of instances which are executed of each particular array job to avoid that one job fills all empty slots in the cluster. a) `qsub -tc <max_running_tasks> ...` on a per job basis (could even be put in a JSV) b) the setting "max_aj_instances" in SGE's configuration `qconf -mconf` HTH -- Reuti > thanks a lot in advance, > -jaime > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@gridengine.org > https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
