[Aces-support] ao jobs quit immediately

[aces-admin at techsquare.com]

hello billboos-

the ao-nodes do have more ram than the 
geo-nodes, which have faster busses (i think
i remember that correctly). 

as far as scratch-disks are concerned, kinda
means what you mean. 

each compute-node has a local /scratch
partition. this is the leftover of every
root drive.

if you mean the ds-nodes, then that's an
order of magnitude different. true, they are
all distinct machines, but they are located
in the several aces-rooms across campus. locality,
then, may affect performance.

which do you mean ?
