Hey Rajat,<div><br></div><div>So I tested out the load balancer some today. We ran into 2 problems. The first is that we submitted an array of jobs to the queue. The balancer is treating the array as one job and not recognizing that it needs to open up more nodes. The second problem is that the logic in closing down nodes isn't taking into account the hour limits beyond the first 45. For example if our instance has been up for 61 minutes we've bought the second hour and don't want to just close that instance. I have attached the xml output. </div>

Hi,<br>
I made a fix and committed it.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://github.com/rqbanerjee/StarCluster/commit/bace3075d9ab2f891f1b50981f5ef657e7bb0cfb" target="_blank">http://github.com/rqbanerjee/StarCluster/commit/bace3075d9ab2f891f1b50981f5ef657e7bb0cfb</a><br>
<br>
You can pull from github to get the latest stuff. I switched my basic<br>
"qstat -xml" to a larger search: 'qstat -q all.q -u \"*\" -xml' , it<br>
seems to get the entire job queue on my cluster. Please let me know if<br>
it gets the right job queue on your cluster.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
