We updated Slurm to a newer and more stable Version: 25.05.5<\/p>\n
This upgrade fixed issues we had with our scheduling system and internal rights-management database.
\nWe improved how Slurm calculates priority for pending Jobs based on user feedback and internal metrics. Here is a short summary with basic details.
\nIn short:
\n– Job waiting times will be more predictable and intuitive.
\n– Longer waiting times will increase the priority of a pending jobs.
\n– Jobs will still be able to access resources quickly if recent resource usage quotas are low.
\nDetails:
\n– A pending job will not be delayed by any other new jobs (see its expected start time increase into the future) after 24 hours of waiting.
\n– Note that other software or hardware malfunctions might still cause delays in jobs, but new jobs will no longer cause this after 24 hours.
\n– A pending job with low fair-share factor might still be delayed by new jobs with higher fair-share factors during the first 24 hours of waiting.
\n– The project used for a job (default or otherwise) will determine its fair-share priority factor based on recent resource usage.
\n– Projects that have already used their „fair-share“ of resources, will have a lower fair-share priority factor than projects with lower recent resource usage.
\n– Priorities and fair-share priority factors only matter for comparing jobs waiting for the same resources (e.g: partitions).<\/p>\n
