Hi, a different question-- again, I am using OGS/GE 2011.11p1 on ROCKS. We have a small cluster with a combination of 12- and 16-core blades. If I do:
qsub -pe orte 60
with no jobs on the cluster, what gets allocated is usually sub-optimal; instead of 3*16+12 (4 full nodes), I might get 2*16+2*12+4 (4 full nodes and one partial).

Is there a general way to force allocation of the minimum possible number of nodes, other than requesting the nodes explicitly? We're already using exclusive scheduling, so this would make a lot more sense. This feels like a newb question but I haven't found an answer by searching.

$ qconf -sp orte
pe_name            orte
slots              9999
user_lists         NONE
xuser_lists        NONE
start_proc_args    /bin/true
stop_proc_args     /bin/true
allocation_rule    $fill_up
control_slaves     TRUE
job_is_first_task  FALSE
urgency_slots      min
accounting_summary TRUE
Thanks,
Noah
