Hello,
Last year I posted on this forum looking for some help on backfill in Slurm. We
are currently using Slurm 19.05.8 and we find that backfilled (smaller) jobs
tend to push back large jobs in our cluster. Chris Samuel replied to our post
with the following response...
This sounds like a pr
e any parameter that we need to
set to activate the backfill patch, for example?
Best regards,
David

Hello,
We see the following issue with smaller jobs pushing back large jobs. We are
using slurm 19.05.8 so not sure if this is patched in newer releases. With a 4
node test partition I submit 3 jobs as 2 users
ssh hpcdev1@navy51 'sbatch --nodes=3 --ntasks-per-node=40
--partition=backfilltes
