Description

The Scheduler component of the Resource Manager has a given amount of time that it sleep after scheduling (or attempting to, if the queue is empty) a job. Currently, that period of time is a number of seconds is an integer. If users wish to have their instance of the RM run as quickly as possible, they have to set that period to either 1 (which can cause a bottleneck if lots of job come in at once) or 0 (which may cause the system to run into errors). In order to allow for greater granularity, the user should be able to use floats or doubles.
