Hi all, In discussions of how to handle the unpredictable bits of spare time available when (for example) draining a worker node to accommodate a multicore job, mentions have been made of an ATLAS 'Event Server' that would allow a machine to run jobs in very small (essentially one event at a time) chunks, which would allow it to accomplish useful work in whatever time was available and then be terminated at short/no notice without losing too much. I've had a quick Google and turned up very little beyond a link to a non-existent twiki page, so - is the event server a thing? Used to be a thing? Is expected to be a thing? Just an idea? Something else? Ewan
