Two dedicated queues for this type of job would do which you can request by a forced boolean complex, each having a overall slot count of 12 by an RQS. Depending on the name of the queue you can then request the correct type of license. If you don't like too many queues: you could also set up two PEs (each with 12 slots defined in the PE definition) and request them by a wildcard and a slot count of 1. Here you can then use the name of the PE you got, and don't need any RQS. (In case these are already parallel jobs, you would need the former option though.) -- Reuti > However, qsub told me that I can't soft request consumable resources. > > Any suggestions as to how I might be able to do this? > > > Thanks > > Hugh Macdonald > nvizible – VISUAL EFFECTS > > [email protected] > +44(0) 20 3167 3860 > +44(0) 7773 764 708 > > www.nvizible.com > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > [email protected] > https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
