<tt>Without seeing the jobs in your queue, I would expect the next
job in FIFO order to be too large to fit in the current idle
resources. <br>
<br>
Configure it to use the backfill scheduler: </tt><tt><tt>SchedulerType=sched/backfill<br>
<br>
</tt> SchedulerType<br>
Identifies the type of scheduler to be used. Note
the slurmctld daemon must be restarted for a change in scheduler
type to become effective (reconfiguring a running daemon has no
effect for this parameter). The scontrol command can be used to
manually change job priorities if desired. Acceptable values
include:<br>
<br>
sched/backfill<br>
For a backfill scheduling module to augment
the default FIFO scheduling. Backfill scheduling will initiate
lower-priority jobs if doing so does not delay the expected
initiation time of any higher priority job. Effectiveness
of backfill scheduling is dependent upon users specifying job
time limits, otherwise all jobs will have the same time limit and
backfilling is impossible. Note documentation for the
SchedulerParameters option above. This is the default
configuration.<br>
<br>
sched/builtin<br>
This is the FIFO scheduler which initiates
jobs in priority order. If any job in the partition can not be
scheduled, no lower priority job in that partition will be
scheduled. An exception is made for jobs that can not run due to
partition constraints (e.g. the time limit) or down/drained
nodes. In that case, lower priority jobs can be initiated and not
impact the higher priority job.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Your partitions are set with maxtime=INFINITE, if your users are
not specifying a reasonable timelimit to their jobs, this won't
help either.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>we are facing some issue in our environment. The
resources are free but job is going into the QUEUE state
but not running.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>i have attached the slurm.conf file here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>scenario:-</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are job only in the 2 partitions:</div>
<div> 344 jobs are in PD state in normal partition and the
node belongs from the normal partitions are full and no
more job can run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1300 JOBS are in GPUsmall partition are in queue and
enough CPU is avaiable to execute the jobs but i see the
jobs are not scheduling on free nodes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rest there are no pend jobs in any other partition .</div>
