+== Job limits (advanced) ===
+The following is a
+more adaptable way of expressing limits on the number of jobs in progress on a host.
+You can specify limits for specific apps, and for your projects as a whole.
+Within each of these, you can specify limits for CPU jobs, GPU jobs, or total.
+In the case of CPU and GPU jobs, you can specify whether the limit should be
+scaled by the number of devices present on the host.
+
+This uses a separate config file, '''config_aux.xml'''.
+The syntax is:
