[torqueusers] Submitting very short jobs

[Jon Tegner]

Hi,

we have for a long time used maui/torque, and it has worked really well 
for out applications (mpi-jobs with many cores and execution times of 
days/weeks).

But, we have other applications which instead consists of 
hundreds/thousands of single core very short applications (a few seconds).

Haven't tried yet, but I imagine that due overhead it would be 
inefficient to use maui/torque in the same way as we have done previously.

I'm sure I'm not the first one with this kind of problem, and am just 
wondering if there are any best practices regarding this kind of problem.

Thanks!
