[HTCondor-devel] [htcondor-devel] RFC: consuming partitionable resources (p-slots) in the negotiator

[Erik Erlandson <eje@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently implemented an enhancement to the negotiator that allows it
to match multiple jobs to a single partitionable resource ad within a
cycle.

There is a writeup and demo here:
http://erikerlandson.github.com/blog/2012/12/03/a-demonstration-of-negotiator-side-resource-consumption/

The topic branch currently resides on my personal github fork of the
htcondor repo, accessible here:
https://github.com/erikerlandson/htcondor/tree/V7_9-prototype-negside-pslot-splits

The enhancement has some appealing properties (see the blog entry), and
I'm interested in the community's thoughts and feedback.
