Our cluster has 8 nodes with 8GB of RAM and 8 nodes with 24GB of RAM.&nbsp; I want to set it up so that the jobs will default to the 8GB nodes if the resources are adequate.&nbsp; However, it is not working that way.&nbsp; Even if the queue is completely empty the jobs fill up the 24GB nodes before the 8GB nodes.&nbsp; As I understand it, NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOUCE should do what I want and fill the 8GB nodes first with the small memory jobs.<br>
