Title: Re: [bgl-discuss] big-o-jobs (Mark killed the machine)

I noticed that too.  Last night Mark had two jobs running in 32-node partitions, and 3 big, 512 node jobs queued.  I figured Mark's science was much more important than mine, so I gave up using the computer until this morning.  Then, to my horror, he still had the same 3 jobs queued up...

But worse yet, it seems we have everyone queuing and nobody doing anything (Is this Britain?)
