[Beowulf] When is compute-node load-average "high" in the HPC context? Setting correct thresholds on a warning script.

2010-08-31 Thread Rahul Nabar
My scheduler, Torque flags compute-nodes as "busy" when the load gets above a threshold "ideal load". My settings on 8-core compute nodes have this ideal_load set to 8 but I am wondering if this is appropriate or not? $max_load 9.0 $ideal_load 8.0 I do understand the"ideal load = # of cores" heur
