As far as I can tell, sbatch —nice only affects scheduling priority, not CPU
priority.
I’ve made a workaround by putting “nice -n 19 xxx” as the job to run in my

There’s a --nice flag to sbatch and srun, at least. Documentation indicates it
decreases priority by 100 by default.
And untested, but it may be possible to use a job_submit.lua [1] to adjust nice
values automatically. At least I can see a nice property in [2], which I assume
means it'd be

We’re using Slurm to share a large (16 core 768 GB) server among FPGA

runs everything nice -19, which
