Please submit the job as below (this will make sure one node runs one user job at a time )

For multi-node job use:

qsub -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=10mb -l walltime=10:00:00 **-l place=scatter:excl** – /bin/sleep 100

For single node job:

qsub -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=10mb -l walltime=10:00:00 **-l place=excl** – /bin/sleep 100

Thank you
