[Condor-users] Some simply, but necessary options

[John Li <john.li@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm new to Condor and have 6.8.0 installed for eval purpose now.   I'm 
trying to determine if Condor would be a good choice
to replace my current commercial product, LSF.  

I've a few questions that I hope someone could help to answer,

1.   Due to compute server limitation and software application license 
limitation,  I need a way
     to limit the number of jobs that one user could run concurrently. 
 A users should be able to submit
     as many jobs as he/she would like, but jobs will just be pending 
once reached job limit per user.
     I searched this archive and saw a few similar questions,  but I 
couldn't find a clear answer for it.  
     Is there a global parameter, something like MAXJOB_PERUSER, that 
can be used for this
     purpose.   Or if there is any work-around for this?

2.   In LSF,  I could config my available servers into different server 
groups, or queues.   For example,
     I could put all my high-end servers into a queue, called 
fast_servers.    So that users would just need
     to know this queue to submit jobs to for faster runs.   Is there 
anyway we can group/partition
     servers for different job requirement in Condor?

Thanks very much in advance,

Best regards,

John,
