Re: [plug] Linux HPC question

you have to prove your case first by upgrading the memory of one of the low end node by using the memory of the other node (that is if you don't have any spare). then insert the upgraded node back to the cluster, and then let it handle a test job and observe. if the problem persist, you have to re

Its a HIGH Performance Computing (HPC). To elaborate the setup, we have a thinanywhere setup for user to use and to submit jobs to those computing nodes. The management node will then push the those jobs to available computing nodes. Cron job is not an option because we can not just kill/restar

2007-10-13 Thread Ariz Jacinto
can you be more specific to your setup? is it an HPC or HTC? can you also elaborate on your problem? does the job stays idle on the low-end node? the way you deal with the problem is the typical way of responding to such but be done automatically via the job scheduler. and since you've already iden

hi all, Occasionally I'd like to know which application(s) is/are using the most disk bandwidth. The reason is, on my desktop and my laptop, I often have background jobs which do a lot of IO and I'd like to know which program it is exactly so I can take appropriate action if IO is slowing down in

To all who replied on my posted problem, thank you very much. I finally fixed the issue last week by doing up2date upgrade of the kernel version. I used the RHEL 4.0 CD to install and it has this issue, Red Hat fixed it with 2.6.9.55 kernel version. thad On 9/22/07, Eduardo Tongson <[EMAIL PROTEC
