[Sigma-users] Minor job scheduling change on Sigma

[Mats Kronberg]

Dear Sigma users,

"Bonus jobs" are now available on Sigma.

Especially during periods of low demand for computing time (such as
during the summer), a project can run significanly more than its
allocation using bonus jobs.

Using bonus jobs is very simple: all jobs that request less than 24h of
wall time are automatically eligible to be started as bonus jobs.

For more details, see

The full job scheduling policy for Tetralith is available at
https://www.nsc.liu.se/support/batch-jobs/tetralith/, and the few
differences between Tetralith and Sigma are described on
https://www.nsc.liu.se/support/batch-jobs/sigma/.

A short summary is available at
