I want to allow users to lower the priority of their jobs to allow other peoples jobs to go first and am thinking the easiest way would be for them to use the sbatch nice option. However all of ours jobs currently run with a priorty of 1 as all of the priority weights are set to zero meaning setting a nice value has no affect.
Having looked at how the job priority is calculated I thought the best fix would be to add a site_factor to every job to increase the default priorty and allow nice to lower it when required. Can anyone tell me the simplest way to apply a site_factor to all jobs? Thanks
