I came to the party late and admit to only reading a few of the messages.
My apologies if you already mentioned what I suggested.
As a grad student, I spent a summer porting comp chem and bioinformatics
packages to BGL. Once you know the routine, the porting process is fairly

Your message misses the point. If you're running an architecture that has
thousands of cpu cores on it, it is a colossal waste to run the normal set
of schedulers and deamons on every core. The efficient use of such a
resource is to only bother with multitasking and the user experience on

Sorry, I don't have much firsthand knowledge about this. I know
Fermilab is consolidating storage from something like 650 wo
