'sgeee' should mean that you are running enterprise edition so you are all set. Rather than share tree it may be easier for you to read up on "functional policies" -- they are slighly easier to setup and comprehend then ticket based share trees. With a functional policy you can assign percentages of cluster resources to Users, UserGroups, Projects and Departments however you like. If you just set up a few users and assign relative percentages then the overall cluster will schedule jobs essentially fairshare-by-user with each user's jobs being FIFO. Most people do functional policy based resource allocation by just creating a few departments, adding people to each department as needed and then assigning 50% of the cluster to DepartmentA and 50% to DepartmentB etc. Obviously when the cluster is idle anyone can get more than 50%. -chris Chris Dwan wrote: >> I take it you are running SGE (not Enterprise Edition?) > > > If the way you can tell the difference is the file: > $SGE_ROOT/default/common/product_mode, then I'm running "sgeee".
