Hi,
I'm not sure about NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY since I have mine set to
PRIORITY. But I did wonder how you had your nodes listed in the torque
server_priv/nodes file. I'd make sure that the 8Gb nodes were listed
first before the 24Gb nodes. Just a thought. Hope it helps.

Our cluster has 8 nodes with 8GB of RAM and 8 nodes with 24GB of

nodes if the resources are adequate. However, it is not working
that way. Even if the queue is completely empty the jobs fill up
the 24GB nodes before the 8GB nodes. As I understand it,
NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOUCE should do what I want and fill the
8GB nodes first with the small memory jobs.
