Hi,

I would like to run an instance of my application on every *core* of a small cluster. I
am using Torque 2.5.12 to run jobs on the cluster. The cluster in question is a
heterogeneous collection of machines that are all past their prime. Specifically, the
number of cores ranges from 2-8. Here is the Torque "nodes" file:
n0000 np=2
n0001 np=2
n0002 np=8
n0003 np=8
n0004 np=2
n0005 np=2
n0006 np=2
n0007 np=4
When I use openmpi-1.6.3, I can oversubscribe nodes but the tasks are allocated to nodes without regard to
the number of cores on each node (specified by the "np=xx" in the nodes file). For example, when I
run "mpirun -np 24 hostname", mpirun places three instances of "hostname" on each node,
despite the fact that some nodes only have two processors and some have more.
You submitted the job itself by requesting 24 cores for it too?

Since there are only 8 Torque nodes in the cluster, I submitted the job
by requesting 8 nodes, i.e. "qsub -I -l nodes=8".
Is there a way to have OpenMPI "gracefully" oversubscribe nodes by allocating instances
based on the "np=xx" information in the Torque nodes file? It this a Torque problem?
p.s. I do get the desired behavior when I run *without* Torque and specify the
following machine file to mpirun:
n0000 slots=2
n0001 slots=2
n0002 slots=8
n0003 slots=8
n0004 slots=2
n0005 slots=2
n0006 slots=2
n0007 slots=4
