Brock,
It's been a while since I compiled torque. I'm still using version
torque-2.0.0p5 (I need to upgrade soon ;)). From what I remember all I
did was give configure --prefix and --with-scp. Since applications are
mounted via NFS I re-used the same applications when I upgraded from
RHEL+propack to SLES 9. Both OS's worked fine with the same version of
torque. However, like I mentioned before I am not using cpusets. Torque
handle's allocating the proper number of cpu's requested by the job on
it's own which works well for our needs.
I'm not sure what benefits you'd gain with Sun machines since we don't
use it here. We stick to NUMA based and Beowulf style clusters for our
research. Hope this helps.
