How does one configure the runtime priority of a job? That is, how do you set the CPU scheduling “nice” value?
We’re using Slurm to share a large (16 core 768 GB) server among FPGA compilation jobs. Slurm handles core and memory reservations just fine, but runs everything nice -19, which makes for hugh load averages and terrible interactive performance. Manually setting the compilation processes with “renice 19 <pid>” works fine, but is tedious. -Larry
