Do you rotate your accounting file at all? qacct performance suffers badly when the accounting file gets too big. I drop a file containing the following into /etc/logrotate.d on the qmaster (replacing the path to the accounting file to it's location on the system...) :

/opt/sge/current/bss/common/accounting {
    compress
    nocreate
    dateext
    delaycompress
    ifempty
    # keep logs essentually "forever"
    rotate 5000
    monthly
}

which gives me a date-stamped, gzipped monthly accounting file, so qacct continues to perform in a sensible way.

Dear GE users:

Is it possible to have an epilog script which prints a summary of resource usage (wallclock time, mem, cpu-seconds)?

I have tried an epilog bash script which calls qacct, but it took a long time to generate that output.

Thanks,
