[HTCondor-users] Bosco question regarding multicore jobs

[Kenyi Paolo HurtadoAnampa <khurtado@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to submit a job via bosco with

request_cpus = N

in the submit file. For some reason, the job in the remote submit host (condor batch system) uses 1 for RequestCpus always, ignoring my request.

I see some patch regarding multicore here, but I don't know what is in charge of sending that 'mpinodes' parameters to blah. Is that the remote gahp / batch_gahp?

https://github.com/htcondor/htcondor/commit/02223163371769e652ea9072caa07191137c86ce#diff-2acfefa411fd99ff66c1d123923ec9b5

If I use request_memory, that works fine. Digging into the parameters passed to bosco/condor/glite/bin/condor_submit.sh, I can see "-n" is never parsed [1].

What do I need to do to properly submit multicore jobs?

I'm using condor 8.6.9 on the bosco side.
