Summary PHYSGI01 Meeting 5/16/94

T. Throwe

Next Meeting:

Next meeting will be Monday, May 23, 11:30 - 12:00, in Room 2-160.

CPU Intensive Users:

Groups who announced that they would be doing production processing during the week of May 16 are:

E850 (Gushue et al.) - ~6 CPU intensive analysis jobs.
E852 (weygand et al.) - ~6 CPU intensive jobs.
E891 (Saulys et al.) - ~2 CPU intensive Monte Carlo job.

All experiments which anticipate running more than an single occasional production job during a given week are required to attend the scheduling meeting. If that is not possible they should notify Bruce Gibbard (gibbard@bnl.gov) or Tom Throwe (throwe@rsgi02.rhic.gov) of their needs by Email prior to the Monday 11:30 meeting.

Plan for week beginning 5/16/94:

The rules will be the same as for last week:

A production job is defined as any job which will accrue an hour or more of CPU time.
Each experiment is still allowed to run up to 6 concurrent "production" jobs but all except 1 of those six must be run "niced" to "1".

Other issues:

No recurrence of the strange behavior of "un-niced" jobs getting smaller shares of CPU than "niced" jobs were reported for last week. E881 was not in attendance to inform us of the results of their experiment to show the strange behavior.

Users of PHYSGI01 are still strongly encourage to set a mail forwarding address from their working account on PHYSGI01 to an account on a machine where they frequently check their mail so that they can be easily contacted.
