Hello everyone,
I need some advice or some good practices as I'm a new SLURM's administrator. in fact a new cluster manager ! Everything is OK, jobs running well etc. But now I would like to configure priority on jobs to improve the efficiency of my cluster. I see I have to activate "Multifactor Priority plugin" to get rid of the FIFO's default behavior of SLURM. So there are 6 factors and the fair share one is interesting me but do you some advices ? I'm managing a small cluster (I think), 40 nodes, with 4 different generations (and different hardware) and I would like to optimize it. For now I set 4 partitions, 1 per generation that may be not the best solution ? Do you think I can just use the "job size" and "partition" and maybe the "age" factors ? Maybe you need more information ? In any case thanks for your help David
