NIKHEF Local Scheduling Guide

Job scheduling and prioritization on the NDPF is accomplished with Torque and Maui. Using MAUI policies, fair-share quotas and processor caps are enforced. The following stuff is available for Torque and Maui:

Torque RPMs with the "transient TMPDIR patch"
The TMPDIR part means that a per-job scriatch directory is created and the environment variable TMPDIR is set to it, according to POSIX 1003.2d
Maui RPMs and source
Example configuration file for Maui (with fair-shares)

Note1: for Torque 1.0.1p6 you MUST also have at least Maui 3.2.6p8, otherwise the node resource characteristics are reported incorrectly (and nodes stay idle for non-reasons).
Note2: the RPMs have been build for RedHat 7.3, and are suitable for use with LCG2.x.
