Hi Maui Users, I am new to Maui. I have the same problem too. I use NODEACCESSPOLICY SINGLEJOB NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOURCE
My clusters are multi-core Nodes. Some jobs will use multiple cores, some do not. I wish the policy is, allocating the new job idle nodes first, if there are no idle nodes, then allocating it the available partially free nodes, last put it in queues . When I use pbs_sched, it is easier to set set server node_pack = False, and everything works fine. Using Maui with NODEACCESSPOLICY SINGLEJOB setting, Every nodes ONLY runs 1 job. How should I do to adjust the maui policy to fulfill the objective? Thanks in advance, ZZ > Hello, > > we'd like to submit jobs on a load balanced basis.
