Dear Team,

Thank you for providing input.
Then share the steps to represent the MICs and the prolog manipulates lock
files to assign
specific MICs to the job when it starts.

In our setup we are having 4 servers with 2 mic installed on each server.

Thank You
Atul Yadav

I'm not sure there is such a thing as "the steps".  We have several
machines with two MICs each and are still using an older version of
Grid Engine. We treat them as coprocessors.  We have a complex defined
to represent the MICs and the prolog manipulates lock files to assign
specific MICs to the job when it starts. We then drop a file listing the
MIC to use in the job's TMPDIR in a similar fashion to the way parallel
environments create a machines file.  At the moment we don't enforce
the allocation but rely on the honor system.

An alternative to treating them as coprocessors would be to treat them
as execution hosts in their own right.  Compile Grid Engine for the MIC
and run an execd on them(warning I've never tried this).  If you wanted
to use them as a co-processor in this scenario you could then define PEs
with a single slot on the host and the remaining slots on the MICs.  Use
-masterq to ensure the job starts on the host with SLAVE slots on the
MICs.

William
