Short Jobs

We might also want short (interactive) jobs to complete quickly. RRJob is not bad in this regard,

Equipartition is the worst,

assigning a processor to the new job. Process control is better than equipartition since it makes the new application's VPs schedulable immediately. However, these VPs may have to wait for the next time quantum before they can get the processors. Dynamic is the best,

next time quantum and immediately preempts running VPs and gives the freed processors to the new application.
