Replying to [comment:6 eschnett]:
The underlying problem is that there are two separate machines sharing
the same head node. Damiana/Datura are unique in this respect. Can this be changed? Can there be a second head node? Isn't there a second head node anyway that could be used? Don't you have that problem for every executable, having to remember for which machine you built it?
We asked Nico about a second head node in the past, but he was keen to keep a single unified environment as much as possible. Note that it is possible to use the same executable on both machines. The only difference between their OptionLists is the SSE version used (2 on Damiana and 4 on Datura) so an executable built for Damiana runs fine on Datura. We even have a single environment for both machines. What is not the same is the machine entry - they have different queues, ppn, etc. These are things which only affect SimFactory.
