I have a group here that wants to submit a ton of jobs to the queue, but want to restrict how many they have running at any given time so that they don't torch their fileserver. They were using bgmod -L in LSF to do this, but they were wondering if there was a similar way in SLURM to do so. I know you can do this via the accounting interface but it would be good if I didn't have to apply it as a blanket to all their jobs and if they could manage it themselves.
If nothing exists in SLURM to do this that's fine. One can always engineer around it. I figured I would ping the dev list first before putting a nail in it. From my look at the documentation I don't see anyway to do this other than what I stated above. -Paul Edmon-
