Oh, I did not know that. We are using an external balancer to emulate a soft request, but for a different reason: if there is no accelerator available, we need more CPU slots, but Grid Engine does not support "coupled requests" like "-pe cpu_only 48|with_accel 8". We can easily detect if there is an accelerator on the machine, but that does not necessarily mean it belongs to the current job. I thought the same problem should arise with soft requests, if they are disallowed for consumables, that may not be the case. > AFAICS there is no output for the job in the way of "I'm running on this > machine because of the following fulfilled resource requests".
