I would love to see something similar; some sort of relatively arbitrary tagging of jobs.  For example, a job might well be associated with a particular project – now to some extent you could use the ‘account’ mechanism for that, but flexible tagging is very useful in cloud settings, and would also be here.

Subject: [slurm-users] How to track solver usage in Slurm

I don't see an easy way of tracking this in slurm. I tried using the --comment="slover" directive, but this gets mapped to the "derived_es" column in the database, which is reserved for job info on errors, from what I read.

This would make a good enhancement request. Where would I submit that?
Something like:
SBATCH --solver=fluent
or
SBATCH --solver=LSDyna

This would be very helpful for tracking solver usage without having to use the job-name.  Great for reporting.
Please let me know if someone else has requested this previously.
If anyone has figured out a way to do it, please share.

thanks
