has anyone tried this on our xeons? I recall
knowing that 4 jobs ran at once and seemed ok
but I don't know if we actually have timings.
can whoever is using the xeons (Dan? Raphael?)
get a benchmark for
- running a 2 cpu job on 1 node
- running a 2 cpu job on 1 node while another
2 cpu job is running on the same node
- running a 4 cpu job on 1 node
- running a 4 cpu job on 2 nodes
(with nothing else running on them)
