[Swift-devel] MolDyn at Purdue

[Veronika Nefedova]

Nope, its quite possible. Last week I couldn't submit a single job  
for almost a day -- their queue was completely full! The message was  
something like 'not accepting new jobs in a queue' - or something  
like that. The cluster is ridiculously busy. I could try to submit  
today a reservation for , say, 20 molecules...
