Hi Jim If using a standalone server, Galaxy is using its own queuing system, which you can modify by changing (in universe_wsgi.ini): local_job_queue_workers user_job_limit but the system is not aware of the memory size and number of cores. In your "specific example", running out of memory is probably the bigger issue..... Hope this helps, Hans-Rudolf On 10/26/2012 01:41 PM, James Vincent wrote:

Hello,

I cannot seem to find the details on how jobs are managed when Galaxy is run on a standalone server. Are jobs managed in a queue of some sort? Does Galaxy determine resources available in some way and moderate jobs that are run?

As a specific example, we have a 40 core machine with 1TB of memory. If 10 users each submit 10 jobs each, say for a bowtie job that has been set to use 8 cores, will Galaxy sort this all out and only run jobs to fill the 40 cores? Are there settings to control this behavior without installing an external job manager like SGE?

Thanks, Jim ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client. To manage your subscriptions to this and other Galaxy lists, please use the interface at:
