Hi,
as a simple solution, you may try configure the default settings in torque
(not maui) with something like
resources_default.nodes = slow
or resources_default.nodes = 1:slow
either at queue level or even for the server as a whole. These can be
overriden by qsub options (in contrast to settings of "neednodes", which
are mandatory for the users).
I haven't tried this with node properties so far, but I know that
"resources_default.nodes = 1:ppn=4" provides a default allocation which
can be changed by explicit user commands.
Regards,
Burkhard Bunk.
