<div dir="auto">Hi Loris, You could add them to a naughty list (please use a better term...) and apply a fixed commensurate priority penalty. That is simple (and can apply to a range of unpreferred behaviour) and provides a clear motivation to change. Could
be done with QOS unless you already use that in a conflicting way.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [slurm-users] Fairshare: Penalising unused memory rather than used memory?</font>
<div> </div>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
We have an increasing number of users who are unable (or unwilling) to<br>
estimate their memory requirements accurately. We include memory in our<br>
calculation of fairshare usage and thus penalise everyone who requests<br>
large amounts of memory, whether it is needed or not.<br>
<br>
Therefore I would be interested in knowing whether one can take into<br>
account the *requested but unused memory* when calculating usage. Is<br>
this possible?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Loris<br>
