Hi.<br>
<br>
Can anybody help me, please.<br>
I need configure TORQUE 3.0.2/Maui 3.3 to allocate particular job on node, only if node has been requested by job node properties.<br>
<br>
For example, we have 3 nodes:<br>
n1 np=8<br>
n2 np=8<br>
n3 np=8 bigmem<br>
<br>
If I submit job with "-l nodes=2:ppn=8", it must run on n1 and n2.<br>
If nodes n1,n2 already executing a some jobs, then if I submit job with "-l nodes=2:ppn=8", it must been queued, and wait n1,n2.<br>
If I submit job with "-l nodes=2:ppn=8:bigmem", it must be run on n3,n1 or n3,n2.<br>
<br>
Other words, regular jobs, if node properties "bigmem" has not requested, should't be run on node n3.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>nodes=2:ppn=8 means "any 2 nodes with 8 cores". Since n3 fits this description, it is considered eligible for the job. What you want is to specify nodes that are not-bigmem. We don't use Maui, so I don't know if it has any set operators for node properties other than ":" (AND), but a Complement operator is what you need.</div>
<div><br></div><div>An other option is to assign all other nodes a 'not-bigmem' property. Then optionally, you could set 'not-bigmem' as a default property.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, in your example, nodes=2:ppn=8:bigmem, will never run. You probably mean to say nodes=1:ppn=8:bigmem+1:ppn=8.</div>
