I apologize for anyone that sees this twice. I somehow missed that there is a separate list for maui from the torque list.<br><br>Hi everyone. We are new to Torque/Maui and we are still getting a feel
for it. We would like to put into place some limits so that the
cluster is more fairly shared.<br><br>For us on our old clusters we had
a limit that no one person could have more than 90% of the job slots
used. This allowed us to have people submit thousands of jobs in a
batch and let them go but still left a number of slots for other people
to run jobs.<br>
<br>With going to Torque/Maui we are looking to do something similar
though as we have more nodes it would be nice to be able to adjust that
a bit so that if there was only one person running jobs at that moment
it would allow them to use all the slots but the moment anyone else
were to submit a job it would become the next one to be run even if the
first person had many more jobs waiting and that had been waiting
longer.<br>
<br>I have tried to read through the options and I am just not sure
what I am looking for so if someone can point me to the options that
would work best that would be great.<br><br>We are also are looking at
some quirks because some of the software on the cluster is not run via
the queuing system so we sometimes have machines that will reach a load
where maui will not schedual things to those nodes so we would not want
to have 10% of the nodes in that state and then the other 90% still
being monopolized by that first big user thus locking out the later
queue user until either the big user were done or the other software
user were done.<br>
<br>Thanks for any insights,<br><font color="#888888">Rob</font>
