            <div>Yes, Boolean constraints do work with minimal
              configuration. We run mostly MPI jobs on our cluster and
              want our jobs to run on a single processor type. We assign
              the processor types as a feature and then the sbatch
              requests —constraint=[wes|san|has|bro] to run on whatever

                        We currently use an in-house customized version
                        of Torque and an in-house scheduler. I'm now
                        considering Slurm instead. We have a feature in
                        our scheduler where by users can submit jobs
                        with multiple-prioritized job specifications
                        (constraints). For example, a job can request 4
                        nodes of type X with 16 cores per node OR 2
                        nodes of type Y with 20 cores per node. The
                        scheduler will prefer the first job spec but may
                        use the second job spec if the first can not be
                        satisfied within certain QoS limits.<br>
                        <br>
                      </div>
                      I saw some ability to use boolean constraints in
                      the docs for Slurm, but would like to know if this
                      behavior is possible out of the box.<br>
