Would it be possible to change the description of IndividualCPUCount to say simply that it specifies the required number of CPUs instead of the number to be allocated. The way it's worded now, match making based on the actual number of CPUs (i.e Condor) seems improperly represented by this element. Making it a little more general allows for the interpretation that a host must at very least have a certain number of CPUs, but it does not dictate the number of CPUs actually being allocated for the job. Resource managers such as LSF and PBS that only operate using CPU allocations could still be considered included in the description because if an allocation is successful then obviously the host must have that many CPUs. In addition, the following elements are worded similarly to IndividualCPUCount so as to effectively prohibit purely match making as opposed to strict allocation of host resources: IndividualVirtualMemory IndividualDiskSpace TotalDiskSpace For what it's worth, the rest of Resources' elements seem to be worded more generally (i.e. "required by the job" as opposed to "allocated to the job"). Derive from that what you will. ;-) Peter
