Hi Angel and Loris, I hope this will be of at least some help, as I was tasked with trying to get site factor implemented in our cluster for the sake of making conformant, predictable priority values that were “pretty” and round, and I was not able to find any good documentation for it either. I had originally hoped it could be set in slurm.conf or something, since I just wanted/needed a constant value, but this was the solution that worked for us. That said, the only way I was able to make this work was by adding it to our existing job_submit.lua.
> function slurm_job_submit(job_desc, part_list, submit_uid)
> job_desc.site_factor = {{ site_factor_num }}
> return slurm.SUCCESS
> end
This is a heavily dialed down copy of our job_submit.lua script, but we set the
site_factor_num as a constant because of what we were trying to achieve, and we
stuck that line in the slurm_job_submit function.
Hope that helps send y’all down the correct rabbit hole.
Cheers,
Reed
