So assuming there is fixed number of licenses for only the cluster available the GRES approach would work, correct?
Out of curiosity: Could we not just create a new queue and set max_running to the number of licenses? I fail to see any difference to generic resources. One would simply change the Matlab PBS markup to use "qsub -q matlab" instead of "qsub -l other=matlab", no? _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
