This is not in the paradigm of SGE. You can only create a consumable complex, attach it to each exechost and request the correct amount for each job, even serial ones (by a default of 1). But in this case, the memory requests (or other) won't be multiplied, as SGE always thinks it's a serial job. But then you replace the custom PE by a custom complex. > Basically, I'm just looking for the equivalent of -l nodes=[count] Wouldn't it be: -l nodes=1:ppn=[count] For -l nodes=[count] it's like SGE's allocation_rule $round_robin or $fill_up - depending on a setting somewhere in Torque (i.e. for all types of job the same will be applied all the time). It could spawn more than a node in either case. -- Reuti > in PBS/Torque, or -n [count] in LSF, etc...
