Can I ask what sort of cluster?
If you use Sun Gridengine to distribute jobs on an HPC type cluster it
automatically sets an alarm level for load, at which point a queue on a
server no longer gets jobs dispatched to it.
You can adjust the load_threshold, and also set thresholds based on many
other values, eg. number of users logged into the system (so you might
have a cycle scavenging setup which only runs on idle workstations),
free memory, number of software licenses etc. etc.
You can set suspend thresholds also (say someone logs into the idle
workstation - the job is suspended. Or a higher priority job comes
along)
Similar settings for PBS and LSF.
