Sorry, typo. I meant *SelectType*

(The rest I wrote next is just unfiltered noise from my brain while
skimming the conf:)

This seems bad for good utilization.

I'm undecided about that...

Clearly dominant QOS/Fairshare: I hope accounting is setup right -- in
the "portion" of your slurm.conf you didn't provide?

Does this even matter compared to QOS and Fairshare?

Reasons for not using PriorityFavorSmall (with or without
SMALL_RELATIVE_TO_TIME) and considering the job size? I think that would
improve utilization in combination with a SelectType that takes CR into
account.
The 10min job you mentioned would not starve behind the big ones.

This way the age_factor maxes out after one day -- comparatively fast to
the default of a week. But age doesn't really matter compared to QOS and
Fairshare... what's the idea behind that?

My fault: to ask for "sprio -w" with the individual weights in the first
place would have been nice.
