James, Thank you for your help. I think your script will help me. My main problem is the size of production cluster. On this cluster we have 1172 nodes. We are upgrading this nodes from two single core CPUs each to two quad core CPUs each and, between this upgrade process, I need to let some nodes to production and this will be a heterogeneous cluster.
So, I have some nodes with 2 CPUs and others with 4. Will be great if the scheduler or the RM could manage this to me... Thanks for you help, -- Leandro Tavares Carneiro Analista de Suporte Linux/Unix On 2/13/07, James J Coyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Leandro, Take a look at http://andrew.ait.iastate.edu/HPC/lightning/lightning_script_writer.html I have this for users who don't want to have to learn a new batch scheduler syntax for each machine. I'm attaching the CGI script which is just a perl script which you can get with the View->Page Source, in case you need to break it out of the web and use standalone. I'll apologize in advance, it has been modified over time for use on 4 different machines from an SGI Origin 2000 to a new Opteron Cluster with 4 processors/node. - Jim Coyle -- James Coyle, PhD SGI Origin, Alpha, Xeon and Opteron Cluster Manager High Performance Computing Group 235 Durham Center Iowa State Univ. phone: (515)-294-2099 Ames, Iowa 50011 web: http://jjc.public.iastate.edu > --===============0119732312== > Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="----=_Part_73233_23015475.1171392852770" > > ------=_Part_73233_23015475.1171392852770 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Content-Disposition: inline > > Hi, > > Sorry by the cross post, but I'm looking for a solution for a problem I have > with Torque with and without Maui. > > What I need is choose nodes by CPUs in a simpler way than "-l nodes=X:ppn=Y" > way.
