The two 780s and two 750s are "similar" machines, and we would like at least the 750s to share queues and the like. The V4.0 documentation implies that machines may or may not share queue files, but says that a queue name must be unique on the cluster. We would like the 780s to have theiur own queu file and the 750s their own. Is this possible? Second problem: With just two of the 750s currently running V4.0, if one of them crashes, the other blocks process execution. This is somewhat less than desirable, and the documentation (Cluster management guide or something like that) is somewhat less than clear about how to prevent this. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience (yet!) with clusters and these problems. -Ken Adelman, Caltech KEN@JPL-VLSI.ARPA KEN@HAMLET.BITNET ucbvax!cithep!ken CITHEX::KEN (hepnet) ------
