Is there any way to configure slurm, that the High Priority job waits for a certain amount of time(say 24 hours), before it preempts the other job?
Not quite, but you can set PreemptExemptTime which says how long a job must have run for before it can be considered eligible for preemption.
In other words if that's set to 1 hour and there's a low priority job that was submitted 55 minutes ago and a new high priority job comes along it won't be able to preempt it for another 5 minutes. You can set it on a QOS for instance so that different QOS's can have different minimum times. https://slurm.schedmd.com/qos.html#preemption All the best, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Berkeley, CA, USA
