Configuration file

[subrat]

Hi,

I was going through the DS devloper guide. Here one thing mentioned like

"As a rule of thumb, it is recommended that you create one processing node for every two CPUs in an SMP". How can i assure this by looking into configuration file?

Moreover if fastname is the indicates the physical nodes then how about the logical node.

Appreciate if any one clear me on this.

Thanks

The number of logical nodes is the number of nodes named and defined in the configuration file.

You should have more than one configuration file; one that can use all of the server machine's resources and some other, smaller ones, that can be used when not all of those resources are required (for smaller jobs). That way the smaller jobs can be run simultaneously without flooding the server machine with demands for unnecessary resources.
