Thanks Ursula for your reply, but we need a parallel environment for more than one node (we are using it with MPI). Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
I give you an example. We have hosts with 16 slots. Now the user requests 32 slots for a job, but instead of allocating slots on two nodes, sometimes four nodes are used, each with 8 slots. We don't know why this is happening, but it didn't happen with 6.2 with a similar configuration.
