<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hello,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">A few of our users have asked about running longer jobs on our cluster. Currently our main/default compute partition has a time limit of 2.5 days. Potentially, a handful of users need jobs to run up to 5 hours. Rather
than allow all users/jobs to have a run time limit of 5 days I wondered if the following scheme makes sense...</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Increase the max run time on the default partition to be 5 days, however limit most users to a max of 2.5 days using the default "normal" QOS. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Create a QOS called "long" with a max time limit of 5 days. Limit the user who can use "long". For authorized users assign "long" QOS to their jobs on basis of run time request. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Does the above make sense or is it too complicated? If the above works could users limited to using the normal QOS have their running jobs run time increased to 5 days in exceptional circumstances?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I would be interested in your thoughts, please.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Best regards,</p>
