[Mauiusers] [torqueusers] [Patch] GPUs by the way of GRES

[Jason Williams]

Thanks.  I hadn't seen this, I think because the original poster seems 
to have sent his modified patch to the torqueuesers list, which I don't 
subscribe to due to volume.  I might actually have to give this a shot, 
as my users have been complaining about the very kludgey hacked-together 
way I am using torque/maui to schedule things.  If it works as good as 
you say, and isn't  too invasive, I might committ it to the Maui SVN 
too.  Just for kicks...
