The easiest way is to set NUM_CPUS = 3 or NUM_CPUS = 1, as 
appropriate. You can do this in your configuration file.

This tells Condor to pretend that the number of CPUs is different 
than what it detects. Since Condor allows one job per CPU, this will 
effectively change the number of jobs that can run at one time on 
those machines.
