Dearl Slurm User List,I am currently reviewing a slurm.conf where the developer set Weight manually to attribute a greater weight to machines that have more RAM to force smaller jobs on smaller instances. However, I feel like there is something already in place or better than manually setting the weights, but I couldn't find it.
If I understand correctly Slurm does not schedule jobs to the smallest possible node on default. So small jobs can be scheduled to large instances and a big job might have to wait indefinitely when using backfilling.
I thought that Slurm does have mechanisms to prevent this but was unable to find it again in the documentation.
Is there really no automatism at place or am I overlooking something? Best, Xaver
