Hi Reuti, I will answer for Jakob here as I am the guy who has set up the cluster config.
Btw. SGE version is 8.1.8. > How did you set up the subordination right now - do you use slotwise > preemption and defined a tree or hierarchy? No. We use queuewise subordination. I did a couple of lengthy tests with slotwise subordination but did not get any reliable results. I cannot recall in detail what the problems were but it was so that we switched to queuewise subordination. Current config is ssconf: queue_sort_method load load_formula np_load_avg short.q: subordinate_list normal.q=1,medium.q=1 medium.q: subordinate_list normal.q=1 Queuewise subordination works reliable in the respect that jobs are suspended. It does not work at all when it comes to schedule depending on queue hierachie. My impression of the cause of the problem is that the rule for choosing a node is still "least loaded". The queue running on a host is not taken into account for this first decision. So we have the situation that the suspending can happen to any queue that happens to currently run on the least loaded node.
