At present the additional processors are primarily for interactive use. However, in the future, the total number of processors available to NQS will be increased and a new queue structure introduced. In order to reflect the changes in system configuration and performance, we will be making a number of changes to the queue structure during test time in the coming weeks. These are still being discussed, so please see news on yukon for more details. These changes will be aimed at increasing the throughput of the system and likely changes are to reduce the maximum time of any job and to change the processor number limits to reflect the ability to run on non-powers of 2.
Feedback is welcome on queue structures.
You decide to change the name of that variable. This is a third, albiet non-portable, option.
