[condor-users] multiple cpu's

[Ratul Mahajan <ratul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i am unable to simultaneously use both CPU on my machines (intel/linux). my guess that this is a result of the nature of my jobs (see below). i'll appreciate if someone would verify my guess, and suggest a possible workaround.

my job is a perl script that spawns another process using the "system" command. its quite likely that the spawned process will run on the second CPU. this "fools" condor into thinking that the new process is NonCondorLoad, with the result that the second CPU is never allocated (the first one is idle, since  the original script is waiting for the spawned process to finish). 

is the above behavior expected with condor, or i am missing something? whats the best way to deal with it (run multiple virtual machines per CPU?)?

thanks,
