I'm pretty sure that the CREDWEIGHT will not do what you want in maui.
It give weight to priority associated with the queues.
I don't think there is existing functionality in maui to do it.

We¹re using Maui with Torque. Is there any way for users to prioritize their

achieve this, but I can¹t find any way to factor this in to scheduling

Read the following for full info on how the priority calculation works:
http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/5.1.2priorityfactors.shtml

In short, you have to set

CREDWEIGHT 1

in maui.cfg

1 means the priority goes in with factor 1 into the equation.
If you're also doing QOS you should set QOSWEIGHT to a higher factor

QOSWEIGHT               3

I'm not sure if this really answers my question. I've read the documentation
before (and re-read it again) but it's not very specific. Will this allow
users to prioritize their jobs (eg: the user submits 10 jobs, 2 of which
should be preferred to run over the other 8). Will this CREDWEIGHT be
applied to the priority specified with -p when submitting with qsub? Or
which sub-factor does it affect?

Thanks,
