[Clusterusers] request for CPU time

[Jaime Davila]

Greetings everyone,

Hope that the semester is ending up in good form for all of you. I'm 
writing because I am about to finish writing a paper for a conference, 
due on December 20th (Friday of next week), and I could use as many CPU 
cycles as I can get. Right now the processes that tend to run are taking 
30-45 minutes, as opposed to the 15-20 minutes that they often take. I'm 
not sure if others are working on a deadline too, but would it be 
possible for others to wait until after the 20th to start new jobs? It 
would make a difference. Of course, I do realize that everyone might 
have deadlines right now, in which case we should all carry on as we are.

Let me know what you think.

Many thanks,

Jaime
