Re: [HTCondor-users] Defining CPU cores per slot

[MÃtyÃs Selmeci <matyas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

That's an interesting situation, since the default for HTCondor is to
define one slot per CPU, according to the NUM_CPUS variable.  It is
also possible that you have "partitionable slots" enabled, in which
case you get one big slot that will get subdivided when jobs come in,
according to what the jobs request.

You should check the values of the following config variables via
`condor_config_val -verbose <VARIABLE>`

- NUM_CPUS
- DETECTED_CPUS
- SLOT_TYPE_1_PARTITIONABLE
