Dear Slurm users, Is there a 'Job Size'-factor equivalent of the 'Job Age'-factor's PriorityMaxAge parameter in Slurm?
What I am looking for is a scaling parameter (or threshold parameter) to normalize the job size factor to a value of 1 for '10-core 1-hour' jobs instead of for 10000-core 1-minute jobs. Does that exist? This is the issue I'm trying to solve: We prioritize many-core, short jobs using: --- PriorityFavorSmall=NO #-- A job that requests all the nodes on the machine will get a job size factor of 1.0. PriorityFlags=SMALL_RELATIVE_TO_TIME #-- The job size in CPUs is divided by the time limit in minutes. --- But users typically use a small fraction of the CPUs for many minutes, leading to job size factors on the order of 1e-6, as evident with 'sprio -n', whereas values on the order of 1 are needed for the weights to work as intended. (The reason why this can not be tackled by just increasing the size-weight by a factor 10^6 is that this would dominate the Fairshare and Age factors in certain situations.) Thanks for your help! D
