Comment (by eschnett):

 The file "doc/processterminology.rst" explains the concepts. In this file,
 I use "machine", "node", and "core" for hardware concepts, and "job",
 "process", and "thread" for execution concepts. I could not find a good
 replacement for "process", which is easily confused with "processor".

 Renaming variables and/or options would be a good idea.
