Mike,

You could potentially add a non-existent node (or nodes) to the configuration that has a million cores, petabytes of RAM, and all the features in the world.  Then it "exists" in Slurm.  I don't know if FUTURE would work, but if you can tolerate having a DOWN node in sinfo, that could work.

These jobs should be accepted, if a suitable node will be active soon.
For example, these jobs could be in PartitionConfig.

Is that configurable?


Many thanks,

Mike
