In case any of you is interested, my team integrated DMTCP checkpoint library with Slurm, thus allowing this preemption to be done without loosing any computation (and some other fancy stuff). An important use case for us is, in fact, these VIP queues :) Here is a link to the documentation, inclu

Thank you for your input! Would any of you have an example on how you setup the conf file for the queue using the QOS method? I'm reading the QOS docs as I type. Brian From: slurm-users on behalf of Loris Bennett Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2018 11:09 AM T

Hi Brian, QOS is probably the right way to go. You can set up a QOS 'vip', which can preempt other QOS. We don't preempt, but use multifactor priority with various QOS with different priority values. In that case, VIP jobs won't start immediately, but just get pushed to the front of the queue.

I'm new to Slurm, and looking for some assistance. I need to create various queues. The one i am having issues with is a "VIP" queue I want to create a queue for a specific node that overides all jobs on that node when a "VIP" uses the queue. We are using SSSD for our authentication system
