A Linux kernel of 2.6 or later is required to use geometry requests, because this feature uses Linux cpusets in its implementation. In order to use this feature, the cpuset directory has to be mounted. For more information on how to mount the cpuset directory, see Linux cpuset support. If the operating environment is suitable for geometry requests, configure TORQUE with the --enable-geometry-requests option.
> ./configure --prefix=/home/john/torque --enable-geometry-requests
TORQUE is configured to install to /home/john/torque and to enable the geometry requests feature.
The geometry request feature uses a subset of the cpusets feature. When you configure TORQUE using --enable-cpuset and --enable-geometry-requests at the same time, and use -l procs_bitmap=X, the job will get the requested cpuset. Otherwise, the job is treated as if only --enable-cpuset was configured.
