Re: prefer blocks
Ha! per machine priority is a lovely solution in this case... Thanks Timur, I hadn't thought of that. As you can imagine, sometimes, when we are doing CPU renders (on the same machine groups) we'd want the big multi CPU machines to have higher priority. Would you considers per-block machine prioriti...

Re: prefer blocks
I'm glad to hear this is on your radar. As most facilities (I imagine) we have a growing pool of (multi-gpu) GPU boxes some of which end up sitting idle if jobs get dispatched to the (much less desirable) workstations since they contain fewer GPUs. I would still like to be able to utilize ALL the av...

Re: prefer blocks
I'm not sure I follow, Timur, Given the following hostmask setup: workstation machines: lws[01-10] renderblock b machines: rb[01-10] renderblock c machines: rc[01-10] video card block machines: rz[01-10] I submit a job to hostmask: 'rz..|lws..'. How would I signal the dispatcher to fill all the rz m...

prefer blocks
I would love to be able to have the dispatcher prefer certain machines when allocating jobs. For instance, always prefer renderfarm machines over workstations, etc.
Is this possible?

Re: CGRU is too fair!
You can up the user's priority.
Seems to act more or less god-like here when set to 255.

change hostmasks per block
Would love to be able to modify a running job's hostmask on a perblock basis.
ie: change hostmask of running jobs per block.

Re: resolving job names after submit
I hear you -- but it does introduce a strange condition. job1.name = "job1" job1.block1.name = "foo" job1.block2.name = "bar" job1.block2.dependMask = "foo*" job2.name = "job1-1" job2.block1.name = "foo" job2.block2.name = "bar" j...

resolving job names after submit
Is it possible to resolve the job name once a job has been submitted? Alternatively, is it possible to have dependency masks that are not strings (job id, or something of that nature)? In Houdini we often build a reusable network of dependencies to execute on the farm. if we resubmit the network bef...
