[torqueusers] C scheduler -> maui help

[Jeff Blasius]

Using this method I believe it's possible the first job can run a load
> 1.0 and prohibit the next job from being run. Is this the case?

Maybe this is better:
 Example 1:  Favor the fastest nodes with the most available memory
which are running the fewest jobs.

NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY PRIORITY
NODECFG[DEFAULT] PRIORITYF='SPEED + .01 * AMEM - 10 * JOBCOUNT'

Maybe this should be discussed on the maui list.

Thanks,
                  jeff
