[StarCluster] Fwd: Integration of MPICH2 plugin with SGE

[Hyokun Yun]

Sergio,


Thanks for the advice!

I have read the document, but why would daemons reject the task if it is
configured $fill_up?
Shouldn't OGE work for both choices?  The document doesn't say I should not
use $fill_up.

I think I gave $round_robin a try, but I will try once again and let you
know whether I had success.

Also, is it possible that this is a problem specific to the AMI I am using?


Best,
Hyokun Yun
