Queues: We want to keep the queue functionality of Torque/Moab where, for example, hera jobs go to hera nodes, vlass jobs go to vlass nodes. We would also like to be able to have vlasstest jobs go to the vlass nodes with a higher priority without preempting running jobs.
- In Slurm, queues are called partitions. At some level they are called partitions in Torque as well.
- In Slurm, job preemtion is disabled by default
- Slurm allows for simple priority settings in partitions with the default PriorityType=priority/basic plugin.
- E.g. PartitionName=vlass Nodes=testpost[002-004] MaxTime=144000 State=UP Priority=1000
