[Clusterusers] request for CPU time

[Bassam Kurdali]

We can hold off using the cluster for renders for now. Josiah, I guess the macosx tag works for us too?

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.
