Has anyone already come up with a good way to identify non-MPI jobs which

leaving cores idle on all but the first node?
I can see that this is potentially not easy, since an MPI job might have
still have phases where only one core is actually being used.
Just an idea: The "pestat -F" tool[1] will tell you if any nodes have an
"unexpected" CPU load. If you see the same JobID runing on multiple nodes
with a too low CPU load, that might point to a job such as you describe.
