Maui version 3.0 is unfortunately not event driven. For some resource managers such as Loadleveler, this cannot be remedied because Loadleveler does not currently support an event driven interface. For PBS systems, it appears that modifications to Maui could allow the resource manager interface to be at least partially event driven but these changes have not yet been implemented. Maui's scheduling algorithm is very efficient and this frequency will not create a significant CPU draw. Additionally, on PBS systems, Maui 3.0 contacts each PBS MOM on each iteration.
