Hi Ralph, Thanks for your feedback.
No, this is the other way around, the “reserved” slots on all nodes are ok but the “used” slots are different. Basically, I’m using SGE to schedule and book resources for a distributed job. When the job is finally launched, it uses a different allocation than the one that was reported by pls_gridengine_info. pls_grid_engine_info report states that 3 nodes were booked: barney (1 slot), carl (1 slot) and charlie (2 slots). This booking was done by sge depending on the memory requirements of the job (among others). When orterun starts the jobs (i.e. when Sge finally start the scheduled job), it uses 3 nodes but the first one (barney: 2 slots instead of 1) is oversubscribed and the last one (carl: 1 slot instead of 2) is underused. If you need further information, please let me know.

Are you saying you only allocated one slot/node, so the two slots on charlie is in error?

Briefly, there is a one-slot difference between allocated rank/slot for Sge and OpenMPI. The issue here is that one node becomes oversubscribed at runtime.

Is there a simple fix than not using the tight integration mode between Sge and OpenMPI ?
