[HTCondor-users] Dynamic slots

["Shrum, Donald C" <DCShrum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a cluster of machines that are dedicated to HTCondor.  

I've read some on dynamic slots; specifically this powerpoint:
http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/CondorWeek2012/presentations/thain-dynamic-slots.pdf

as well as this http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.0/3_5Policy_Configuration.html#sec:SMP-dynamicprovisioning 

I've enabled whole machine jobs on our cluster.  I presume if I use dynamic slots I'll do away with the configuration for whole machine jobs.  

Is that the case and is using dynamic slots a better practice?   Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks and have a good weekend.
