In my opinion it would be a violation of the granted slot count when you get 
more cores granted than slots. How should SGE deal with it for the jobs which 
are lateron scheduled to such a machine: still 4 slots free, but all 8 cores 
already used up - what to do?!?

Hence the amount should be interpreted as a "reserve up to amount cores per 
machine", limited by the granted slot count per machine. So "-binding linear:4" 
would mean give me up to 4 cores per maschine if possible.

- possibly only 3, when only 3 slots are granted on a machine

- you will never ever get more than 4 slots per machine, i.e. it's an upper 
limit for slots per machine for this particular job
