I am running Torque 2.3.0 and Maui-3.2.6.19. We run with one queue with all users that have the same priority and no group priority. Basically management wants small jobs on the clusters so they want small jobs (less # of nodes) to have the priority. It doesn't matter how long the job runs. All jobs are set at the maximum walltime so I can't prioritize based on this feature because users do not know how long the job will run. How do I configure maui.cfg so that jobs with "less number of nodes used" get higher priority than jobs that "use a larger number of nodes"? It doesn't matter if a 32 node job has been in the queue 4 days...if a 4 node job goes into the queue, it should run and not have to wait for the 32 node job to finish.
A second question I have is about walltime. Does a job still end if the job goes past the time set in walltime? My users don't know how long their jobs will run so all jobs run with a walltime of 3600. This number was decided upon because they wanted all jobs to complete. Thanks for the help -- Curtis Wensley _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
