Re: [HTCondor-users] New to ht condor and have basic questions

[Mathieu PeyrÃga <mathieu.peyrega@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I may have solved the issue by adding :

JOB_RENICE_INCREMENT = 0
SYSAPI_GET_LOADAVG = False

WANT_VACATE_VANILLA = False
WANT_SUSPEND_VANILLA = False
START_VANILLA = True
SUSPEND_VANILLA = False
CONTINUE_VANILLA = True
PREEMPT_VANILLA = False
KILL_VANILLA = False

to the condor config file (which is in attachment)

first line solves the priority of the process that get executed in the
end : the get run in Windows "Normal" priority

second line make the machin use all available ressources almost
instantly when starting process was very slow before.
Maybe this indicates that something is broken on the way HTCondor
evalates current load ? Moreover, considering the rest of the variables
(START = true), I don't even see why the current load would have some
effect on starting the jobs.

I'm not sure if the other _VANILLA lines are needed, but user manuel on
page 345 seems to state so

I'll now turn to multi machine trials...

Regards,

Mathieu
