[torqueusers] only one processor is used when using qsub -l procs flag

[Gustavo Correa]

Hi Xiangqian

Is it a typo in your email or did you comment out this line in your Torque/PBS script?
[Note the double hash ##.]

> ##PBS -l procs=3

Have you tried this form instead?

#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=3

For more details check 'man qsub' and 'man pbs_resources'.

I hope it helps,
Gus Correa
