Is an entire node on Forge the minimum allocation? Stanley Seibert https://conferences.xsede.org/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=151477 2011-10-17T18:25:15Z 2011-10-17T18:25:15Z

Hi, after looking through the Forge users guide, I had one question:<br /> When submitting a job, is the minimum resource allocation always an entire node (16 CPU cores + 6 CUDA devices)? (I see that the charging formula is in units of nodes, not CUDA devices.)<br /><br />We typically run our software locally in a mode where a job only uses 4 CPU cores and 1 CUDA device, but if the Forge scheduler is reserving an entire node for a job, our code will tremendously underutilize the hardware. We could adjust things to use multiple CUDA devices per job without too much trouble, however. Should we go that direction?
