Perfect!

Thanks Fritz.

I'll start googling FairShare using Grid Engine projects but if you know of a 
good linky that describes a how-to that you recommend, that would be great too.

Best,
Joseph

Yes, Joseph. And that's the reason why projects were introduced in Grid Engine 
some 15 years ago ;-) (even before it was called Grid Engine).

You don't really need projects otherwise. All other things you might want to do 
with projects can be accomplished via user lists or the accounting string. 
Projects are really there for the share-tree and functional policies.

And thus it's good practice to *not* use projects for anything else than these 
policies or else you might be in trouble if turning on those policies and 
requiring projects for them.

Cheers,

Fritz

Hi.

I am using Grid Engine 8.1.2 setup with some 20 queues.

Most queues point to a set of private nodes.   A few queues point to a pool of 
shared nodes.

All queues are FIFO order.   I like to convert a couple of the share queues to 
use FairShare instead of FIFO order.

I asked this question before and the answer was that FairShare cannot be 
applied to a queue only.  Is there a way to get around this using a project?

Can I accomplish this by creating a project with a list of users in said 
project and then applying FairShare to that project only?

So what I am thinking is to have one project called "bio" with a set of users.  Another 
project called "math" with a different set of users.

Can I then apply FairShare on each project by itself so that "bio" project does not interfere with 
"math" project?    In other words, a FairShare setup only for "bio" users and a different FairShare 
setup for "math" users?

Joseph
