Dave,

Our clusters are homogeneous, so we are trying to do a first-level sort on "load" where the load formula is simply "slots". If it did this much correctly I could happily ignore it's second-level behavior. Have you ever made this work as a first-level sort?

We have two clusters, one running 6.1u5 and the other running 6.2u2-1. The 6.2u2-1 system appears to sort by sequence number in defiance of my instructions to use "load" with a load formula of "slots". I have not actually been able to deduce a coherent pattern of behavior for the 6.1u5 system, but it is clearly not packing the jobs.

What is the "Univa repo" you refer to?

Jim

Apologies for the confusion.  However, that doesn't deaql with
multi-level sorting on seqno and load.  In an inhomogeneous cluster,
you typically want to sort by seqno (node type) first.  At
least in that case, the second-level packing using slots for the load
doesn't work for us in the serial case either.  There's a
one-liner fix for the parallel case in the Univa repo, but I don't know
what's the problem in the serial case.
