[Mauiusers] node prioritization based on node features

[Ramon Bastiaans]

You could also specifiy a lower node priority to nodes with more memory 
using a priority function, but there are multiple solutions possible I 
think.

  * 
http://www.clusterresources.com/products/mwm/docs/12.2nodeattributes.shtml#priorityf

For example;

NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY  PRIORITY
NODECFG[DEFAULT]      PRIORITYF='-CMEM'

Or something similar. This will assign a lower node allocation priority 
for nodes with more memory.

Nodes with 48 GB will then have a priority of -48 and the 12 GB nodes 
will get priority -12, giving the latter nodes a higher priority.




Kind regards,
- Ramon.
