Hello, We have a small cluster consisting of ~40 machines in our university for running MD simulations. One of our users is working on a project where she needs to submit many jobs of about 5 min lengths. To my understanding, she is doing some calculations in a script to find some parameters and submit 4 or 5 of these jobs at the same time in the script. And then rinse and repeat. So the problem is that she says after a while (~3000 jobs) jobs start to take some time before scheduled. We thought it might be related to some slurm settings about fairness or such but couldn't find anything about it. Is there a way to disable this waiting time?
Thanks in advance, Gokcehan
