Actually there's no need for cpusets unless jobs are badly-behaved and escape their bindings. Core binding by the resource manager, inherited by OMPI, is typically enough. (Note that, as far as I know, cpusets are Linux-specific now Irix is dead along with its better support for resource management.) Anyhow, yes you should use a resource manager even with only trivial scheduling. -- Community Grid Engine: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/
