[torqueusers] Efficiently using nodes with multi-core CPU

[Daniel Bourque]

You accomplish that in Maui using ( in maui.cfg )

NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY  CPULOAD
NODEAVAILABILITYPOLICY UTILIZED

jobs will be packed onto nodes according to load average and unused CPUs 
( cpus as defined in torque, not actual CPUs ) , until you run out of 
nodes with acceptable load  average or nodes in available cpus.

I'm also new at torque/maui, so if I'm not doing this properly, someone 
feel free to enlighten me.

Thanks
