<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm fine with using "nodes"
only. The TORQUE package for OSCAR currently has "ncpus" and a user
mentioned that he has problems getting some jobs to run through MAUI and
suggested that we add the default resource for "nodes" for the default
queue. I'm fine with whatever is regarded as "best practises" so it sounds
like I will stick with "nodes".</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Bernard,<BR><BR> We recommend staying away from 'ncpus'
due to issues which existed in<BR>the past. To our knowledge, all of these
are addressed. However, we<BR>are not aware of distinct benefits
associated with the use of this<BR>resource. If possible, use
'resources_default.nodes' only.<BR><BR> If you do need to use it, we will
do our best to support you.<BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR>On Thu, 2006-01-05 at 09:45

Bernard,<BR>><BR>> Fixed! Thanks. ncpus are
processors which are constrained to being<BR>> on the same host
(usually). Over the life of some PBS variants, this<BR>> interpretation
has varied. Maui/Moab do their best to distill the<BR>> meaning based
on context.<BR>><BR>> Thanks,<BR>> Dave<BR>><BR>> On Wed,
