TSMC is using MC to balance work load between clusters. When the submission cluster is busy, it forwards some jobs to execution clusters. The execution cluster has it's own workload except the forwarded jobs. To avoid the forwarded jobs occupy mos...

support queue level container parameters

We need to be able to use the EXEC_DRIVER mechanisms in a way beyond bapp, as there is only one bapp allowed in a job submission. Many of our automated (and locked) job flows already request a bapp, so they cannot use another bapp.
