UMSI: SDVL workstation policy statement

SDVL Workstation Policy Statement

From the Technical Support, Graphics, and Visualization Advisory Committee...

(in order of priority)

A user on the console of a machine has the highest priority for that machine's resources
SDVL workstations are primarily for Graphics and Visualization work and code development, not for running resource intensive calculations.
On the other hand, CPU cycles should not be wasted. All background jobs must be submitted through either the Portable Batch System (PBS) or Distributed Queuing System (DQS). Jobs submitted through the queuing systems are suspended when someone is actively using the console.
Technical Support Staff reserves the right to kill any background job running on an Institute workstation that was not submitted via the queuing system and has a noticeable effect on the console performance.
