[HTCondor-users] Need to pass the number of cores (CPUs) to my job as an argument

[Ian Cottam <Ian.Cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm back running HTCondor jobs after quite a break. I thought the below 'template' used to work for me with OPENMPI jobs, but now the first Argument $(Request_CPUs) is passed as the string Target.TotalCPUs. Maybe it always was, and memory fails me.
What should I be using?
Thanks

Request_CPUs = Target.TotalCpus

# because of macro below, submit with e.g.: condor_submit -a qcount=6 submit.txt
# saves editing the submit file
# if you just use: condor_submit submit_mb.txt,
# it defaults to empty and Queue is the same as Queue 1
Queue $(qcount)
