OK, i did some tests with maui and torque_scheduler.

my queue is configured with resources_default.nodes=1

This table shows the number of procs of the job, with both schedulers:

                       maui   torque_sched
--------------------------------------------
-l procs=1               1        2 !!
-l procs=2               1        2
-l procs=3               1        3
-l procs=4               1        4
-l nodes=1 -l procs=2    1        3
-l nodes=1 -l procs=3    1        4
-l nodes=1 -l procs=4    1        4 !!
-l nodes=1 -l procs=5    rejected rejected
-l nodes=2 -l procs=3    2        4 !!
-l nodes=2 -l procs=4    2        4 !!


So it doesn't work at all with maui, and there are some inconsistencies
with the torque scheduler.

How can i make it work with maui ? do i need to patch maui ?
