We have actually modified the code on both v 19 and 20 to do what we would like, preemption within the same QOS, but we think that the community would benefit from this feature, hence our request to have it in the release version. Relu
Another "line of attack" to consider, given that the Slurm source is available at GitHub, would be to post the details of the patch branch within your GitHub fork on here, in the hope that one or two interested folk within the community might find time to take it out for a spin on their test and dev kit. People have been known to take "yet to make it into production" patches and try them out on their test and dev kit, ahead of official releases (and then wonder why applying their local patches, to a new source tree that already has the patch in, didn't quite work as expected!). Might help build a groundswell for the feature to be included, as well as exposing the design approach, its code, and any effects, to a wider audience. Apologies if I've missed the patch reference though, Kevin Buckley -- Supercomputing Systems Administrator Pawsey Supercomputing Centre
