The port available on bioteam.net was the first implementation. (btw thanks bioteam.net for the port!) Later on, other people added more fixes -- detecting the number of processors was one of them (added by myself if I remember correctly). Sun is planning to provide binaries on gridengine.sunsource.net, but they are waiting for a few more fixes before do that. If bioteam.net can update the binary to the current version -- SGE 5.3p4, then we don't need to wait for Sun's binary. Lastly, you can get further help from the SGE dev mailing list if you want to compile from source: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/maillist.html -Ron --- "Beltrami, Riccardo" <Riccardo_Beltrami@Chiron.it> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm trying to add few MacOS X execution nodes in our > experimental Grid > Engine cluster. > > The GE port I'm using is the Van Etten's 5.3p2 > version available as a > package on the BioTeam web site. > > It's working ok however when I run qhost as user > sgeadmin on an > administration host I get: > > HOSTNAME ARCH NPROC LOAD MEMTOT > MEMUSE SWAPTO SWAPUS > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ... > stark darwin 1 - 0.0 > - 0.0 - > > where stark is my MacOS X execution host. > > The problem is that stark is a dual processor PPC G4 > 1.25GHz with 1.5GB of > RAM so the NPROC, MEMTOT etc. values are wrong > reported. > > In fact, if I run the command loadcheck found in > $SGE_ROOT/utilbin/darwin > directory as user root this is what I get: > > # ./loadcheck > arch darwin > num_proc 1 > load_short 0.00 > load_medium 0.00 > load_long 0.00 > mem_free 0.000000M > swap_free 0.000000M > virtual_free 0.000000M > mem_total 0.000000M > swap_total 0.000000M > virtual_total 0.000000M > mem_used 0.000000M > swap_used 0.000000M > virtual_used 0.000000M > cpu 0.0% > > Those values are clearly wrong, and if I run the > same command on other > execution host (for example Solaris/Sparc machine) I > get correct values. > > Stark runs MacOS X 10.2.6 with all the latest > patches available from Apple. > > Does anybody know how to fix/solve this problem? > > Tia, Riccardo. > > > > > O > / \ > > ,---------------------+---+-----------------------. > | Riccardo Beltrami > |-. > | > | | > | Bioinformatics > | | > | > | | > | riccardo_beltrami@chiron.it > | | > | > | | > > `-------------------------------------------------' > | > > `--------------------------------------------------' > _______________________________________________ > Bioclusters maillist - > Bioclusters@bioinformatics.org > https://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bioclusters __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
