[Moabusers] high turnover queue

[Lloyd Brown]

Hello all,

Here at our site, we are interested in setting up a high-turnover queue
with exclusive access to a small number of nodes, and enforcing a
relatively short maximum walltime.  We've considered simply setting the
constraints using the resource manager (Torque), as well as making all
the assignments in Moab's configuration, probably using CLASSCFG.  We
just wanted to see if there was a particular advantage to doing it one
way or another, as well as how it could most easily be done.

Basically, we want to have some method of differentiating short jobs
from regular ones.  If the job is short, and it is within our maximum
walltime, then it runs on a subset of nodes.  Otherwise, it runs in the
default queue, which will not include that subset of nodes.

Any suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
