Users desire the ability to specify resources, obtain quick turnaround on their jobs, and receive reliable allocation of resources. Administrators desire happy managers and happy users. They also desire the ability to understand both the workload and the resources available. This includes current state, problems, and statistics as well as information about what is happening <i>under the covers</i>. They need an extensive set of <i>buttons</i> and <i>knobs</i> to both enable management enforced policies and tune the system to obtain desired statistics.<br><br> <ul> <li><a href="1.1batchsysvalue.php">1.1 Value of a Batch System</a> <li><a href="1.2philandgoals.php">1.2 Philosophy and Goals of the Maui Scheduler</a> </ul> <div class="navIcons bottomIcons"> <a href="index.php"><img src="/resources/docs/images/home.png" title="Home" alt="Home" border="0"></a> <a href="index.php"><img src="/resources/docs/images/upArrow.png" title="Up" alt="Up" border="0"></a> <a href="1.1batchsysvalue.php"><img src="/resources/docs/images/nextArrow.png" title="Next" alt="Next" border="0"></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sub-content-btm"></div> </div> </div>
