We're looking at using SGE to replace a home-grown queuing system that is showing its age in terms of legacy maintenance, etc.
The previous system was strictly FIFO for each queue. You add a job to a specific queue, and it waits its turn. As I'm reading more about SGE and the various policies that can be used to control queuing, I'm getting the impression that real, hard control of the order of jobs isn't something that SGE provides when you're using the different policies to help it determine job priorities. Is that right? We're interested in being able to classify certain jobs as higher priority. And I'd guess we'd specify policies to guide the ticket allocation for those kinds of jobs. But if I'm using those policies will I still be able to specify something like "give this specific job the next position in the queue"?
