Did You Know: Job Priority Factors
Did you know that Moab has the most flexible job priority settings available?
Moab allows jobs to be prioritized based on a range of job-related factors, including credential, fairshare, resource, service, target service, usage, and job attribute. For example, factors that would give a job a higher priority include the length of time a job is in the queue, the type of application being requested, or the size of the job. These factors are broken down into a two-tier hierarchy of priority factors and subfactors, each of which can be independently assigned a weight. This approach provides the administrator with detailed yet straightforward control of the job-selection process.
Each factor and subfactor can be configured with independent priority weight and priority cap values. In addition, per-credential and per-QoS priority weight adjustments may be specified for a subset of the priority factors. For example, QoS credentials can adjust the queuetime subfactor weight, and group credentials can adjust fairshare subfactor weight.
