Thanks Ryan,

Is this value stored anywhere in the SLURM accounting DB? I could not find any 
value for the JOB that corresponds to this RAW usage.

Raw usage is a long double and the time added by jobs can be off by a few 
seconds.  You can take a look at _apply_new_usage() in 
src/plugins/priority/multifactor/priority_multifactor.c to see exactly what 
happens.

Hello SLURM users,

Raw Usage
The number of cpu-seconds of all the jobs that charged the account by the user. 
This number will decay over time when PriorityDecayHalfLife is defined.
I am getting different RAW Usage  values for the same job every time it is 
executed. The Job am using is a CPU stress test for 1 minute.

It would be very useful to understand the formula for how this RAW Usage is 
calculated when we are using the plugin PriorityType=priority/multifactor.

Snip of my slurm.conf file:-

# Activate the Multi-factor Job Priority Plugin with decay
PriorityType=priority/multifactor

# apply no decay
PriorityDecayHalfLife=0

PriorityCalcPeriod=1
PriorityUsageResetPeriod=MONTHLY

# The larger the job, the greater its job size priority.
PriorityFavorSmall=NO

# The job's age factor reaches 1.0 after waiting in the
# queue for 2 weeks.
PriorityMaxAge=14-0

# This next group determines the weighting of each of the
# components of the Multi-factor Job Priority Plugin.
# The default value for each of the following is 1.
PriorityWeightAge=0
PriorityWeightFairshare=100
PriorityWeightJobSize=0
PriorityWeightPartition=0
PriorityWeightQOS=0 # don't use the qos factor

Thanks!
