Hi Jon,

Your understanding is correct:   In a single negotiation cycle one job
will match a partitionable slot.  So, if a partitionable slot has (for
example) 8 CPUs, it will take 8 negotiation cycles to fully utilize the
partitionable slot.  At this point, there will be the original slot, now
showing 0 CPUs, and 8 dynamic slots.
