[Bioclusters] ideal load threshold for cluster nodes.

[Jinal Jhaveri]

Hi All,

I am using load_avg=2.0 as a load threshold for our SGE nodes. I avoid 
using the np_load_avg (load per processor) as it is mis-interpreted on 
intel machines with hyperthreading enabled. Can anyone (especialy in 
Bioinformatics setting running jobs like blast,interpro) share their 
experience on what load threshold works best for them?

Thank you!

ps. Apologies for cross posting but I realized that both SGE gurus and 
Bio-cluster people might be able to answer this question.
