time to a user? That is, account for his wall clock time or total CPU usage,
given an allocation of service units? Is there any open source software to do
this? I need to be able to charge for time on the cluster, given the number of
nodes used, wall clock time, <SPAN class=123420220-12102001>normalization
for different CPU speeds, </SPAN>etc.</FONT></DIV>
