Hey guys, I was asked to implement a walltime of 24 hours in our cluster (we only have 16 nodes, so no need until now). Furthermore, I need to prefer single accounts based on compute time. The example I was given is further below.
Btw., I'm upgrading to SLURM 17.02.4. Example: If the partition is full, we should start to prefer people who haven't used much computing time the last month. I don't know where I should start with this request to be honest and if it is even possible (walltime is not the problem). First of, I would need to also implement accounting I guess (also, no need for until now^^) But how to continue? I wanted to implement backfill instead of FIFO, but would I also need multifactor priority? Here are my thoughts of being able to achieve this: 1. Could I do something like: A. People are getting points every month (which they can't actually empty within one month) B. Compare the points (last month) of all people when a queue appears. 2. Or something like (same but time based): A. Account the whole computing time for two months (and then start to delete old entries) B. While queue, compare computing time (last month) of all waiting users? I hope I made myself clear and that you can help me. Every hint is appreciated.
