Hello all,
I would like to remove the
allocation = NO_ALLOCATION
lines from simfactory's machine definition files.
They seem to have not benefit that I can see and cause two types of problems:
* simfactory does not default to the allocation in the [default] section which is the only one set up when doing sim setup on the cluster itself
* simfactory does not warn/abort if no allocation is set for the cluster since as far as simfactory is concerned, there actually is an allocation defined (namely "NO_ALLOCATION"). This is eventually caught by qsub and friends but simfactory's handling of qsub errors is not very good unfortunately
Does anyone remember why we introduced NO_ALLOCATION? And would anyone object to remove it from all the affected ini files (which is most of them it seems).
Yours, Roland
