Dear list, our cluster has 16 nodes with 32G RAM and 8 CPUS each; we receive jobs with varying processor-per-node requirements, e.g. 2,6,8. The goal is to assign a job to a node with minimal remaining yet still sufficient resources to fulfill the job's requirements, e.g. 2 ppn and 6 ppn jobs should be allocated to a single node in order to keep other nodes available for potential 8 ppn jobs. The chosen configuration paramater "NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOURCE" does not seem to be working - all nodes have been occupied with small ppn-requirement jobs thus leaving us with many idling processors but no free node for a 8 ppn job. Any ideas?
