Yes, it's the slot count per queue instance - i.e. per exechost in the defined hostlist. But using a consumable complex might also not work, as it's still marked as used in SGE's internal bookkeeping I would say. A vanishing node shouldn't change the complex consumption for already running jobs. Therefore the idea with the load sensor. -- Reuti > > Regards, > Joseph David Borġ > http://www.jdborg.com > > > On 20 June 2012 17:41, Reuti <re...@staff.uni-marburg.de> wrote: > Am 20.06.2012 um 18:22 schrieb Joe Borġ: > > > I've got a queue with two hosts in.
