New mek-quake

This is a large cluster system to be used by the Wales and Vendruscolo groups. There are some decisions to be made about setting it up.

On clust (the other Wales group cluster) there are dual-CPU nodes but these are deliberately hidden from the queueing system. The smallest unit you can get is a single node. This was to avoid the situation we get on nimbus, a similar machine, where parallel jobs sometimes get assigned one task on certain nodes, instead of two.
