Price SFr. 1390.-- We want to run it in conjunction with a CONVEX CX batch implementation, and the prerelease I had did not work properly. I have to admit that this was before 3.3, and things changed a lot. Could someone of SGI commment on the following: Both CRAY and CONVEX NQS implementations communicate using a so-called mid (machine id), which is maintained as node name. In contrast to this, SGI used the internet number, giving problems on both other implementations. Is this still true or did the implementation change ? Further, I'd like to know which limits are supported. Because setrlimit is now part of the kernel, it should support far more features than the 3.2 version... Regards, Reinhard

It's called "4D/NQS". 2) 4D/NQS requires 3.3 3) 4D/NQS simply uses the IP number as the mid. 4) Limits supported: a) all of the setrlimit(2) limits: cpu time RLIMIT_CPU file size RLIMIT_FSIZE data RLIMIT_DATA stack RLIMIT_STACK core RLIMIT_CORE resident set size RLIMIT_RSS b) nice(2) c) non-degrading process scheduling priority, schedctl(2) NDPRI d) processor (on MP machines), sysmp(2) MP_MUSTRUN Bent
