Hello,
I understand that this is not a straight forward question, however I'm wondering if anyone has any useful ideas, please. Our cluster is busy and the QOS has limited users to a maximum of 32 compute nodes on the "batch" queue. Users are making good of the cluster -- for example one user is running five 6 node jobs at the moment. On the other hand, a job belonging to another user has been stalled in the queue for around 7 days. He has made reasonable use of the cluster and as a result his fairshare component is relatively low. Having said that, the priority of his job is high -- it currently one of the highest priority jobs in the batch partition queue. From sprio... JOBID PARTITION PRIORITY AGE FAIRSHARE JOBSIZE PARTITION QOS 359323 batch 180292 100000 79646 547 100 0 I did think that the PriorityDecayHalfLife was quite high at 14 days and so I reduced that to 7 days. For reference I've included the key scheduling settings from the cluster below. Does anyone have any thoughts, please? Best regards, David PriorityDecayHalfLife = 7-00:00:00 PriorityCalcPeriod = 00:05:00 PriorityFavorSmall = No PriorityFlags = ACCRUE_ALWAYS,SMALL_RELATIVE_TO_TIME,FAIR_TREE PriorityMaxAge = 7-00:00:00 PriorityUsageResetPeriod = NONE PriorityType = priority/multifactor PriorityWeightAge = 100000 PriorityWeightFairShare = 1000000 PriorityWeightJobSize = 10000000 PriorityWeightPartition = 1000 PriorityWeightQOS = 10000
