[torqueusers] Torque on 1000 nodes ?

[Dave Jackson]

Ole,

  Garrick's comments are correct.  However, in his note, he described a
number of changes made for his local site to support local needs.  Some
of these were unrelated to increasing support for job count.  Some were
to improve support for a large number of nodes, others were for support
of a large number of classes.

  In the latest releases of Maui, only the MMAX_JOB #define must be
modified to increase max job support.  In earlier releases which have
the integrated 'MCom' library, both MMAX_JOB and MAX_MJOB must be set.
The Maui docs have been updated to reflect this.

Thanks,
Dave
