"要运行的最多工作"不等于在远程服务器上使用GNU Parallel时指定的作业数量?

我试图在PBS集群上运行GNU Parallel的许多小型串行作业,每个计算节点有16个核心,因为我打算使用多个计算节点,因此我将选项-S $ SERVERNAME传递给GNUP并行,但是有什么困惑我是使用-S $SERVERNAME在节点上启动的作业数量不等于我打算产生超过9个作业时指定的作业数量,以下是我的观察结果:

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel --version

shelob001

当使用GNUParallel作为没有-S $ SERVERNAME的本地主机时,没有问题,我打算生成10个作业,GNUParallel启动了10个作业:

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel --progress echo ::: `seq 1 10`

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run
1:local / 16 / 10 # 10 jobs spawned, no problem

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
local:10/0/100%/0.0s 1
local:9/1/100%/0.0s 2
local:8/2/100%/0.0s 3
local:7/3/100%/0.0s 4
local:6/4/100%/0.0s 5
local:5/5/100%/0.0s 6
local:4/6/100%/0.0s 7
local:3/7/100%/0.0s 8
local:2/8/100%/0.0s 9
local:1/9/100%/0.0s 10
local:0/10/100%/0.0s

当我使用GNUParallel使用-S $SERVERNAME生成少于10个作业时,仍然没有问题。

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel -S shelob001 --progress echo ::: `seq 1 1`

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run
1:shelob001 / 16 / 1 # When the number of jobs is less than 10, no problem

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
shelob001:1/0/100%/0.0s 1
shelob001:0/1/100%/1.0s

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel -S shelob001 --progress echo ::: `seq 1 8`

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run
1:shelob001 / 16 / 8 # When the number of jobs is less than 10, no problem

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
shelob001:8/0/100%/0.0s 1
shelob001:7/1/100%/1.0s 7
shelob001:6/2/100%/0.5s 3
shelob001:5/3/100%/0.3s 8
shelob001:4/4/100%/0.2s 5
shelob001:3/5/100%/0.2s 2
shelob001:2/6/100%/0.2s 6
shelob001:1/7/100%/0.1s 4
shelob001:0/8/100%/0.1s

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel -S shelob001 --progress echo ::: `seq 1 9`

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run
1:shelob001 / 16 / 9 # When the number of jobs is less than 10, no problem

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
shelob001:9/0/100%/0.0s 1
shelob001:8/1/100%/1.0s 5
shelob001:7/2/100%/0.5s 8
shelob001:6/3/100%/0.3s 2
shelob001:5/4/100%/0.2s 6
shelob001:4/5/100%/0.2s 9
shelob001:3/6/100%/0.2s 3
shelob001:2/7/100%/0.1s 4
shelob001:1/8/100%/0.1s 7
shelob001:0/9/100%/0.1s

这让我感到困惑,当我尝试使用一个工作号&gt; = 10时,产生的工作数总是比想要的少一个,这里我要产生10个,只开始了9个工作:

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel -S shelob001 --progress echo ::: `seq 1 10` # I want to start 10 jobs

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run 
1:shelob001 / 16 / 9   #why here "Max jobs to run" is 9?

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
shelob001:9/0/100%/0.0s 2
shelob001:9/1/100%/3.0s 1
shelob001:8/2/100%/1.5s 7
shelob001:7/3/100%/1.0s 4
shelob001:6/4/100%/0.8s 9
shelob001:5/5/100%/0.6s 8
shelob001:4/6/100%/0.5s 3
shelob001:3/7/100%/0.4s 5
shelob001:2/8/100%/0.4s 6
shelob001:1/9/100%/0.4s 10
shelob001:0/10/100%/0.4s

[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$ parallel -S shelob001 --progress echo ::: `seq 1 11`

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run
1:shelob001 / 16 / 10 # it seems the jobs started is one less than I specified

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete
shelob001:10/0/100%/0.0s 1
shelob001:10/1/100%/3.0s 2
shelob001:9/2/100%/1.5s 8
shelob001:8/3/100%/1.0s 3
shelob001:7/4/100%/0.8s 4
shelob001:6/5/100%/0.6s 5
shelob001:5/6/100%/0.5s 7
shelob001:4/7/100%/0.4s 10
shelob001:3/8/100%/0.4s 9
shelob001:2/9/100%/0.3s 6
shelob001:1/10/100%/0.4s 11
shelob001:0/11/100%/0.4s
[fchen14@shelob001 ~]$

我使用&#34; top&#34;检查了计算节点的状态,它确实显示我使用seq 1 10时只使用了9个Cpu。希望我的问题清楚,有人能指出这个问题的可能原因吗?欢迎提出任何建议。

非常感谢!
