Claim 25:
26. A method of configuring at least a portion of a multi-node compute environment, the method comprising:
generating, by at least one computer processor, a system job in the multi-node compute environment, the system job comprising a job which configures at least one aspect of the compute environment for subsequent utilization of the compute environment by one or more compute jobs without the system job executing any workload associated with the one or more computes jobs; and
performing, by the at least one computer processor, the configuration of the at least one aspect of the compute environment by processing the system job; wherein the configuration of the at least one aspect of the compute environment for subsequent utilization comprises creating at least one virtual cluster within the multi-node compute environment, the virtual cluster dedicated to at least one of (i) one or more particular workload tasks or groups of tasks, or (ii) one or more particular users or groups of users,
wherein the job which configures the at least one aspect of the compute environment for subsequent utilization further comprises a job which automatically de-establishes or terminates the at least one virtual cluster within the multi-node compute environment after one or more prescribed conditions are met.
