[slurm-users] jobs stuck in ReqNodeNotAvail,

[Christian Anthon]

Okay,

how is slurm handling the following situation:

The queue has a ton of of single-core jobs and somebody submits a high 
priority multi-core job, will the mulit-core job not run before all 
single-core jobs are done or will slurm free up a node?

Cheers, Christian.
