Hello List, we're on 2011.11, and our general setup has nodes with a mixture of CPUs (e.g. 8, 20, 40 cores). Most of the nodes lack a high-speed interconnect, so we use a PE with allocation_rule $pe_slots, limiting jobs to just a single machine. We're also using fairshare to achieve an even

Hi Ansger, do you have experiences with Torque/PBS? There is a useful gridengine plugin which works quite similar: https://github.com/brlindblom/gepetools I have it in use on one of my clusters. The advantage: users must order not just slots but also nodes in the form: #$ -l nodes=2,ppn=12
