Dear Torque and Maui experts Can anybody clarify if "qsub -p" is effective?
I.e., does it set the job priority when one is using Torque AND Maui? In this case, how the Torque "qsub -p" priority range of -1024 to +1023 translates into a Maui job priority number? Or is the user supposed to change the job priority with "setspri", after the job is queued with "qsub"? I couldn't find any clarification of this matter on the qsub man pages, or on the Maui and Torque Administrator Guides. My simple experiments with a bunch of jobs suggested that "qsub -p" doesn't work, doesn't really set the job priority. (They ran in the order they were submitted, not according to the priority). However, I may be missing some fundamental and undocumented feature that only the savvy insiders know about. :) I found this 2006 thread on the very same problem, and I wonder if the issue was resolved: http://www.supercluster.org/pipermail/mauiusers/2006-November/002446.html I appreciate any help.
