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.

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. On the other hand, no CPU-time is lost due to low-status jobs being terminated early due to preemption (although if the low-status jobs are able to do some form of checkpointing that will be less of an issue). Depending on how pushy your VIPs are, they might go for a preemptionless solution, too. Cheers, Loris John Hearns <[email protected]> writes: > Brian, not my area of expertise.
