I was wondering about this recently: the new parameter appears to exist
already: torque accepts "qsub -l procs=6 ...", but it appears that at
least moab does not understand this. The job never starts and
"checkjob -v <jobid>" displays

Can somebody comment on this, i.e., does support for procs already
exist in maui and/or moab?
