Hello Everyone, I am new to SLURM and trying to run it locally on my PC. I am using Multifactor plugin to assign priorities for the job. The problem is multi factor doesn’t work as needed on small clusters. I tried assigning weightage to the factors as per my need but the scheduler always schedule the job on FIFO basis.
I am trying to find some alternative where making changes to the priority plugin code could make it work on small clusters. for e.g If I have 12 nodes on my cluster, and if 3 users A,B and C with QOS low, normal and high respectively submit their job for execution. I want that SLURM should assign not all nodes to the User A. Atleast 1 node should be assigned to the users B and C which are having low and normal priority. how can I achieve this ? PS: Gang scheduling and preemption are not possible in my case. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sourabh Shinde
