[slurm-users] Preemption Priority

[Paul Edmon]

You might want to look at these options for SchedulerParamtesr:

*preempt_strict_order*
    If set, then execute extra logic in an attempt to preempt only the
    lowest priority jobs. It may be desirable to set this configuration
    parameter when there are multiple priorities of preemptable jobs.
    The logic to support this option is only available in the
    select/cons_res and select/cons_tres plugins. 
*preempt_youngest_first*
    If set, then the preemption sorting algorithm will be changed to
    sort by the job start times to favor preempting younger jobs over
    older. (Requires preempt/partition_prio or preempt/qos plugins.)
