Can I set dynamic or calculated "weights" for nodes based on server load, memory free, keyboard idle time etc? The reason I want to do this is sometimes servers are busy running non-slurm jobs so load can be high, and in this case I don't want them to accept slurm tasks. Also (I think) if no weights are set then nodes appear to be assigned "alphabetically"? i.e. node_1 seems to do most of the work even if it's older and slower. I recall that this was possible with Condor via Requirements in the ClassAd but is there a similar method for slurm?
Have I overlooked something obvious? Is this something slurm can do?
