[HTCondor-users] Machine allocation - unused machines

I have a question, perhaps mis-informed, but nonetheless. We run a small cluster (approx. 70 cores) for doing CFD and other small jobs. I see that when I submit a batch of jobs, condor will use one machine to full capacity, leaving the other machines in the cluster alone. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to spread the jobs out, with regard to use of memory etc? Is there perhaps some configuration I can set to enable this?
