[HTCondor-users] Wacky loadavg sometimes

[Jeff Templon <templon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

For this command:

condor_status -total -claimed -af:h Owner Name Cpus State LoadAvg Cmd

this is one of the answers:

sschmidt slot1_25@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2    Claimed -1.0                   /usr/bin/gstlal_inspiral

A load of -1.0, what does that mean, how is this calculated?  Iâve seen others, where the LoadAvg for a slot was computed as 2, whereas if I look directly on the node, there is only a single process for that job, running 100% CPU â other jobs that have the same behaviour have a LoadAvg of 1 instead of 2.

Whatâs going on?  How is this supposed to work?
