Posted by Catherine on behalf of David Wales:

We are definitely going to need a two week queue. I don't think we need
more than 32 processors, though. I think the ideal scenario is to keep
the number of users to 8 or fewer, so that everyone can use up to 32
processors and no jobs will need to be queued.

My worry about a two week queue that it is only workable for the system's users if, as you say, there is no queue of waiting jobs. I am not sure that will be true on this system, but we'll see when the usage settles down. It also has problems for systems administration. --Catherine 16:35, 21 June 2006 (BST)
