Morecombe? The number or configuration of cores shouldn't affect APEL at all. You should be publishing the power of one core and (if appropriate) the scaling of your cpu numbers by the batch system. The number of cores etc might affect your gstat publishing of total capacity but not APEL or ATLAS. The things to check are: SI2K (calculated from HS06); CPUScaling Reference (if your batch system changes anything); and what your batch system actually does for normalisation.

Pete Love will hopefully be able to attend from Lancaster, but to give you the short summary it looks like APEL is seeing half as many CPU hours accounted for atlas as atlas themselves are reporting used. However they're both seeing a similar amount of jobs done, so it looks like the APEL hours are being scaled down by a factor of 2, We're not sure what's causing this (the only bad things about our publishing is that our physical CPU/logical CPU numbers are a bit screwy - for example our cluster of 64 Dual-quad core boxes is presented as 64 x 8-cores rather then 128 x 4-cores). Could this be a problem? The last time I tried to fix it our publishing went all funny so I switched back. To add to our fun on the 6th of April one of our clusters simply stopped pushing out it's accounting records, it looks like the log parser for lsf isn't behaving on that node. Both of these issues could do with someone more knowledgeable in the ways of APEL to take a look, but due to the fact that I'm about to go on leave for a week I've held off on opening up support tickets until I get back.
