Well, it also matters what user you were using to start the jobs (which was probably not sgeadmin, as that is usually reserved as a special user).  The slots parameter should look something like this (which is from my 2 node 8 core minicluster):

 

slots                 1,[desktop1=8],[desktop2=8]

 

Where desktop1 and desktop2 are my two computer’s host names.  If it still isn’t working right, post the output of qstat -f

 

Peace,

 

Matt.

Subject: Re: [FSL] Asking for your help about running bedpostx on SGE

 

The username of SGE on machine A and B are both sgeadmin. When I run bedpostx, I was logging in A as root. I do not know what is causing the Permission denied before. So I will use chmod -R 777 in the future if the similar problem come up.

 

I have 8 CPUs on B, so I can just modify the all.q, long.q, verylong.q etc and change the parameter "slot" from 1 to 8, to make all the 8 CPUs work, right?
