The problem with this is it's very local to our configuration at Imperial.
OpenMOLE is not intended to cope with local configurations and assumes that the environment it's been assigned will scale if not then, we need to restrict that environment locally (create a queue with less machines, or pass a requirement that restrains the number of nodes, ...)

The main reason being to avoid too many temporary files being created in the 
sharedDirectory. For each job, this requires around 100-1024 KB. If the input 
files were no links, these would add to this as well. Given hundreds of 
thousands of jobs, this easily adds up. Further, I heard rumours in our lab 
that the SLURM head node/server would crash if more than 10000 jobs are 
submitted at once… Jonathan might have a better idea what’s true about this, 
though.

this is a purely arbitrary limit set by myself :)
we could increase it as Slurm can handle way more jobs but I wasn't sure the server hosting it could scale up and didn't want to change that during the deadlines period
but now we can play with it :)

  My main concern are the number of temporary files that are created (also 
counting towards the quota of inodes…).
shouldn't be a problem if you're not keeping your .openmole in your /homes
i don't know of any user quota on the other shared spaces

Hi Andrea,

no, but why would you do that ?

Hi,

is it possible to limit the number of jobs submitted to the SLURM/Condor/PBS 
queue at a time ?

Andreas
