On one machine, some users want to submit sets of jobs which will at most use X GB each, while other users want sets of up to Y GB each.

Can Open Grid Engine (OGE) create variable amounts of slots based on job load? For example, if Y >> X, and the total RAM on the machine can safely run 5 jobs of Y without overloading, I would want to have 5 slots open. But then let's say all the Y jobs have completed in the middle of the night, and OGE is queueing X jobs. Since Y >> X, we know that the computer can handle more than 5 X jobs. Would I be able to configure OGE to recognize that it has shifted over to X runs (perhaps by RAM consumption, user who submitted jobs, task priority, etc?) and increase the number of slots available to improve the overnight efficiency of running the X jobs?
