Autosubmit slow and not submitting jobs - a1ua
Currently I am running DCPP, this is a large experiment consisting in 55 stardates, 10 members and 11 years. For several reasons and since it is a large experiment it was decided to initially run a quarter of this experiment consisting in 13 startdates, 10 members and 11 years. It is exp a1ua. Initially it was running without problem but as the experiment went on autosubmit started to be slow submitting jobs. From what I have observe, autosubmit spends a lot of time retrieving information of the jobs status and even though many jobs are ready to be submitted to MN4 it submits very few (2-5) or none at all. The parameter SAFETYSLEEPTIME in autosubmit.conf was modified from 10 to 5 with no apparent effect. Over the four days of Easter no jobs where submitted even though autosubmit was running and retrieving job status information.
To overcome this issue I reduced the number of startdates to 5 and it ran again fine without issues. Nevertheless autosubmit should be able to handle large experiments.
