Exclude local computer from pool #226

Closed MarcelRobitaille closed 2 years ago

MarcelRobitaille commented 2 years ago

Is there any way to exclude the local computer from the pool? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I really can't see a way to do this. I'm trying to use a pool of remote servers and I never want my local computer to be used in the pool. This was also very confusing to me, because it wasn't obvious at first.

From the docs on server configuration (in __init__):

           ncpus - the number of worker processes to start on the local \
                   computer, if parameter is omitted it will be set to \
                   the number of processors in the system

So, I believe, ncpus = 0 will use no local workers.

Please do reopen the issue if the above doesn't answer your question.

Thank you. Not sure how I missed "local"
