-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there,
I'm looking at tweaking our Slurm config to get it to handle our workload better and it seems to be doing pretty well, but there's one thing missing that I'd like to get going. When we had Torque and Moab (and I used to do the same with Maui at $JOB--) we had a standing reservation that would reserve a node on the cluster for jobs of less than 15 minutes between 8am and 8pm for testing. Basically any job that fitted the criteria would get attracted into the reservation and run there in preference to other nodes and those that didn't would be kept off it so people could get quick turnarounds. We can't use partitions for this as the user shouldn't need to know about this (and has never needed to know in the past, so it'd be a regression from their point of view) plus we'd need to have scripts to shuffle short jobs between partitions at 8am and 8pm and bring that partition up/down as appropriate. My reading of the manual page isn't encouraging, but I could just be not seeing the wood for the trees. Any ideas please? All the best!
