I totally agree that Gold is neither well integrated with Slurm nor very scalable. (That is part of the reason we are looking for other options.) We'd really like to use Slurm's mechanism, but I belie it is not possible to use it both for fair share priority (i.e. with a positive PriorityDecayHalfLife) and to enforce har usage limits like GrpCpuMins. (We are using 14.03.7. Perhaps this has changed in later versions? Also, "nothing is ever easy": we want to account not CPU hours, but PE (processor equivalents) hours. -- Regards, Bjørn-Helge Mevik, dr. scient, Department for Research Computing, University of Oslo
