[slurm-users] priority access and QoS

[Styrk, Daryl]

Marko,

I’m in a similar situation. We have many Accounts with dedicated hardware and recently ran into a situation where a user with dedicated submitted hundreds of jobs and they overflowed into the community hardware which caused an unexpected backlog. I believe QoS will help us with that as well. I’ve been researching and reading about best practices.

Regards,
Daryl

Hi All,

Currently in our environment we only have default one "free" tier of access to our resources and we are looking to add additional higher priority tier access. That means that the jobs from the users that "purchased" a certain amount of service units will preempt jobs of the users in the free tier. I was thinking of using slurm QoS to achieve this by adding users/groups via sacctmgr to this newly created QoS tier but I wanted to check with all of you if there is a better way to accomplish this through slurm. Also, could GrpTRESMins be used to automatically keep track of SU usage by a certain user or group or is there some better usage tracking mechanism ?

Thank You all,
Marko
