Queues and Scheduling Policies

Edison Queue configuration is subject to change throughtout the testing period. We will increase the wall clock limits for prodcution queues (regular and ccm_queue) and will add more queue classes as needed when the machine becomes more stable. Currently we have a simple queue structure, users should submit jobs to the regular, debug, and ccm_queue (for the cluster compatibility mode jobs only). The machine is free of charge until further notice.
