We have a number of nodes that have software that is not able to be run through the queueing system. For those nodes we have set a max cpu of just a bit less than the number of cores so that when that software runs other jobs are not queued to those nodes. That software is only used a few days out of the month most of the time. What we are wondering is how does Maui view those nodes during that time. For a node that has jobs running it looks at the wall time and knows how long the node will be busy. For the ones that are just at max cpu how long does it assume that the node will be busy? Does it schedual assuming that the node will be busy forever and just updates when the node drops back down to allow jobs to run or does it assume that it is busy now but will be available the next schedualing cycle then update then?
We are only wondering as we are starting to get larger cpu jobs rolling in at the same time and I want to know what behavior to explain to the users is happening.
