So for now, Lorenzo, the way to do this is to use a separate site (sites.xml <pool> entry) for each different value of jobsPerNode that you require. I assume most will be 24, and only the large-memory apps will need a lower number (2,4,8 etc).

Then in the tc.data file, list those exception applications as being associated with only the right pool entry.
