Yes, but only to an extent. The linked conversation ends with this: >> Do you have any best practice about setting MaxJobCount to a proper number?
> That depends upon your workload. You could probably set MaxJobCount to at least 50000 with most systems (assuming you have at least a few gigabytes of memory). Some sites run with a value of 1000000 or more. So, it is configurable. But this has a limit. And if you have lots of users on a system submitting lots of jobs, even a value of 1000000 can get exhausted. And in either case, this is not something that speaks against a workflow management system giving you additional control over things. So I'm not sure what exactly we are arguing about, right here... cheers, david On Thu, 2023-02-23 at 17:41 +0100, Ole Holm Nielsen wrote: > On 2/23/23 17:07, David Laehnemann wrote: > > In addition, there are very clear limits to how many jobs slurm can > > handle in its queue, see for example this discussion: > > https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2366 > > My 2 cents: Slurm's job limits are configurable, see this Wiki page: > https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/#maxjobcount-limit > > /Ole >
