I would love to use it, but since moab does not support it I can't.
With respect to using either

1) -l nodes=x:ppn=y+procs=z
or
2) -l nodes=x:ppn=y -l procs=z

I really don't care, but I believe (2) should always work. Thus,
the question really is whether (1) should work in addition (and
synonymously) to (2). As far as I am concerned that is not really
necessary.

Cheers,
Martin
