Hi All,
Thought I'd try this one more time. Anyone have "assoc_limit_stop" option in
use? Care to try explaining what it does exactly? This doesn't really make a
ton of since as it is said in the man page:
assoc_limit_stop
If set and a job cannot start due to association limits,
then do not attempt to initiate any lower priority jobs in that partition.
Setting this can decrease system throughput and
utilization, but avoid potentially starving larger jobs by preventing them from
launching indefinitely.
Seems it should instead say:
assoc_limit_stop
If set and a job cannot start due to association limits,
then do not attempt to initiate any lower priority jobs FROM THAT ASSOCIATION
in that partition.
Setting this can decrease system throughput and
utilization, but avoid potentially starving larger jobs by preventing them from
launching indefinitely.
Can anyone confirm that the behavior is in line with my modified explanation?
Otherwise, I don't see why you'd use that option..
Best,
Chris
