I tweaked the following with my reasoning as comments:
# I'd rather a job sit in the idle queue for days than get blocked DEFERCOUNT 1000000 # re-evaluate blocked jobs once a minute DEFERTIME 0:01:00 # prefer that time in the queue is a major factor QUEUETIMEWEIGHT[0] 10 # look at the prior hour for FairShare factors with steep forgetfulness FSPOLICY DEDICATEDPS FSDEPTH 6 FSINTERVAL 0:10:00 FSDECAY 0.50 FSUSERWEIGHT 1 # allow up to 1000 days of wall-clock time USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAX.WCLIMIT=86400000 # allow a user 128 processes, backfill upto 256 USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAXPROC=128,256 # allow a user to use up to 256 nodes (which is more than we have??) USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAXNODE=256 # allow even more allocation for the idle queue to prevent jobs getting blocked USERCFG[DEFAULT] MAXIPROC=2048 MAXIJOB=256 MAXINODE=256 # allow around 50% of the queue to any user before penalizing USERCFG[DEFAULT] FSTARGET=50 Am I misunderstanding something? _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
