We've been integrating it into our SGE cluster/JSV recently for a similar but slightly different usage but have yet to use it in anger. The Gold docs suggest checking/reserving cpu hours at job start time but our usage requires doing so at job submission so it is integrated with the jsv and used to reject jobs when hours have run out.
