At work, we are experiencing a performance problem on our Sun 4 while running a logic synthesis program. We have three teams developing three ASIC chips. Often-times each team will submit 1-3 batch synthesis jobs at the same time, at which time the Sun proceeds to get almost nothing done. I assume it is thrashing. What we were wondering, is if it would be possible to write a script or C program which would implement a queue for submitting batch jobs to. The queue program would run only 2 or 3 of the jobs submitted to it at any given time. Whenever one job finished, it would submit the next one in the queue. Does such a program exist in the public domain, or does unix have some such feature built-in. I guess it would be something like a print queue. Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
