Before implementing "GrpTRESRunMin=cpu=limit" on our production cluster I'm doing some tests on the development cluster. I've only get a handful of compute nodes to play without and so I have set the limit sensibly low. That is, I've set the limit to be 576,000.
That's equivalent to 400 CPU-days. In other words, I can potentially submit the following job...</div>
