[Clusterusers] request for CPU time

[Lee Spector]

Hi Jaime,

Fine with me personally but I'll check with my lab group to see what everyone's expected needs are. I'm also not sure exactly how to implement the idea if people do want to run some other things... maybe by having you use a subset of machines that everyone else excludes?

I just placed a new algorithm on my account, and have it run it, but it's fairly different from what I was doing before, and I would rather detect quickly if I need to tweak or change things, as opposed to having to wait a week to realize I need to make a 10 minute change.

Maybe things will be that way this time around, maybe not? In either case, my grabbing more cpu cycles right now would be extremely useful.
