I would recommend to partition the hosts (whatever is easy to implement for you: namespaces, containers, virtual machines, ...) Out of necessity we have Slurm running with Ganeti KVM instances (type "plain") as virtual Slurm nodes to protect infrastructure VMs (type "DRBD" & "plain") on the same hosts -- with no obvious performance penalties. I don't know how Torque tracks resource usage (could it handle an /external/ process -- your host suddenly having load from /somewhere/ else?). AFAIK Slurm can only track resources it scheduled itself. Regards, Benjamin -- FSU Jena | JULIELab.de/Staff/Benjamin+Redling.html vox: +49 3641 9 44323 | fax: +49 3641 9 44321
