Hello
I have 8 boxes like that in $PBS/server_priv/nodes
slave0 np=4
(...)
slave7 np=4
If I ask for 3 jobs requesting 1 CPU, all of three will go to slave0.
Is there a way to randomizing CPU allocation? Or walk node by node
instead of cpu per cpu?
This cluster is not always heavily loaded, so I could gain some time if
each node process only 1 job.
I think this could drive to some problem, 8 job requesting 1 CPU and a
lot of job requesting 4ppn waiting, but for me it is acceptable.
Thanks
