Hello. I'm running a small cluster using Oracle Grid Engine 6.2u7
At times it happens that one user submits a job that requires several resources (-pe, -l mem_free, etc).
For instance, user A submits a job X requiring 32 slots out of 100 available. The other users, keeps submitting serial jobs filling up all the slots and always having more jobs waiting on the queue.
The serial jobs will get ahead of job X, and be scheduled as soon as one slot is available and job X will be waiting in the queue forever and never get to run until no more serial jobs will be submitted and 32 slots will be available.
I would like the scheduler to also consider how much the job has been waiting in the queue, and possibly also the values regarding the historic users resources usage, as returned by qacct -o username
What are the possible solutions to solve this problem? Thank you and best regards. Robi _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
