You mean in case of a parallel application? You set "accounting_summary" to "true" and get only a single record back? This depends how the used CPU time is acquired by the OS (and whether all created processes are taken into account, even if they jump out of the process tree [like with `setsid`]). More reliable is the CPU time collected by SGE by the additional group ID. -- Reuti _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
