Re: [Condor-users] How many submit nodes in your pool ?

Hi Bruce,

~ 200

> - Do you restrict the number of submit nodes,
All are submit nodes. When jobs run they open up a shadow 
process on the submitting machine. If you are transfering files 
to the execution nodes these can use up a lot of resources. So 
having all users submit all jobs from one node could produce a 
very large load. I've seen loads of 20+ until I throttled down 
the maximum number of jobs that could be run from a single node.
