More than OGE uses external bindings. We have tested it using some tricks, and in environments where binding is available from the RM (e.g., slurm). So we know the basic code works.
Whether or not it works with OGE is another matter. On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 9:09 AM, Terry Dontje <terry.don...@oracle.com>wrote: > On 11/17/2010 10:48 AM, Ralph Castain wrote: > > No problem at all.
