[users at bb.net] Different parallelism needs

[Andreas Zwinkau]

Hi,
we have a buildbot running where builders have very different resource 
needs. Some (A) are single-threaded but require lots of memory. Others 
(B) are embarassingly parallel.

For A, we would like to run, e.g. two or three buildslaves on a machine 
depending on the RAM it has and properly isolated. Currently, I'm 
working on putting the buildslaves into docker containers, which 
provides the isolation with cpusets etc.

For B, we want only one buildslave with all CPUs available. Isolation is 
not really necessary.

Any ideas how to use the same machine for this? Maybe latent buildslaves?

(Using version 0.8.12 btw)
