Does each line of output of qstatall correspond to one of the nodes? I'm trying to figure out if it's the case that a single user can tie up all the nodes for an extended period of time (it currently appears as though a single user has tied up 18 nodes for 8+ hours, another user 6 nodes for 12+ hrs, leaving my job in the cue for a very simple process). Does this happen regularly?
Thanks,
Scott |

| I think I have my answer. The majority of those jobs are still running (putting them at 16+ hrs and 21+ hrs of processing time and counting) this morning? And my job, which took 17 sec to complete, made it through the waiting cue 5 hrs after submission to the cluster. |

each line corresponds to an individual process.
anything in the procd.que or the interact.que actually happen on seperate nodes (1 & 2, 4 respectively) that do not accept any other jobs.
each node has 4 processors, so with 6 active nodes accepting jobs .. the cluster would be fully pegged with 24 jobs from users.
its been a general policy that users should be respectful of one another, especially during peak operating hours and keep their job count down to a reasonable level, with space between submissions for other users to submit jobs in a fair manner.
also, under no circumstances should users be running FSL jobs through the interactive que, its set up for visualization and as a prep site for getting other jobs ready for submission to the head node. |
