Node priority: With Torque/Moab we can control the order in which the scheduler picks nodes. This allows us to run jobs on the faster nodes by default.
- Slurm
- The order of the nodes in PartitionName is not important. But you can set a Weight to a NodeName. Nodes with the lowest weight will be chosen first.
- HTCondor
- There isn't a simple list like pbsnodes in Torque but there is NEGOTIATOR_PRE_JOB_RANK which can be used to weight nodes by cpu, memory, etc.Can HTCondor do this?

While preemption can be useful in some circumstances I expect we will want it disabled for the foreseeable future.
Slurm
The default is PreemptType=preempt/none which means Slurm will not preempt jobs.

- Setting a Machine Rank will cause jobs to be preempted https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/wiki?p=HowToConfigPrioritiesForUsers
