Hi all, I have a small compute farm on which users are fighting to get some cpu time. I have almost 650 CPU (grid view) and one user can take all the CPUs available for his jobs. I've tried to set share policies, but whatever I set, I can't handle to get another result than FIFO when users are submitting jobs. I have not been very far inside configuration and share policies, but is there a way to get 2 teams to take 1/4 the CPUs and 1 team to take half of the CPUs when the node are charged, and if only one team is working, then it can take all the CPUs?
I have tried to use the reprioritize feature in the cluster configuration, but the result is that the nodes are used 70% for nice and renice processes... waste of time My goal is to have a fair use of the cpu resources, based on cpu time consumption, so each team will get a ratio of cpu usage and incoming jobs will be submitted with different priorities regarding how many resources were already consumed. And, I also want one team to be much prioritized than others... I'm trying be be clear but I'm not sure to be... Another is that I read most of grid engine documentation, but did not understand a lot about share policies (tree or tickets) as I'm not english native speaker... Is there some documentation I could find in french? Thanks for your support, Jérôme _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
