[Swift-devel] problem with coasters on pbs provider (on pads)

[Glen Hocky]

I'm having a problem running on PADS. It seems that when I submit jobs with
workerspernode=8, the queuing system doesn't pick up on the fact that each
job submitted by swift should have ppn=8 (specifically, that is missing from
the qsub command registered by pbs)

when I do a qsub -f on my running jobs I get

> submit_args = -A CI-CCR000013 -l nodes=1,walltime=02:00:00,

        size=1 /home/hockyg/.globus/scripts/PBS4482066898055181239.submit


so there's no ppn=8 and i think it should also say size=8.

the result is that I get 56 jobs running on one node

BTW, this is with the latest version of cog (as well as earlier ones) and a
version of swift that's working for me on bgp

> Swift svn swift-r3432 (swift modified locally) cog-r2829
