User Share Assignments
Syntax
Chapter 14
Fairshare Scheduling
Both queue-level and host partition fairshare use the following syntax to define
how shares are assigned to users or user groups.
[user, number_shares]
Enclose each user share assignment in square brackets, as shown. Separate
multiple share assignments with a space between each set of square brackets.
◆ user
Specify users of the queue or host partition. You can assign the shares:
❖ to a single user (specify user_name)
❖ to users in a group, individually (specify group_name@) or collectively
(specify group_name)
❖ to users not included in any other share assignment, individually
(specify the keyword default) or collectively (specify the keyword
others)
By default, when resources are assigned collectively to a group, the group
members compete for the resources according to FCFS scheduling. You can
use hierarchical fairshare to further divide the shares among the group
members.
When resources are assigned to members of a group individually, the share
assignment is recursive. Members of the group and of all subgroups always
compete for the resources according to FCFS scheduling, regardless of
hierarchical fairshare policies.
◆ number_shares
Specify a positive integer representing the number of shares of cluster
resources assigned to the user.
The number of shares assigned to each user is only meaningful when you
compare it to the shares assigned to other users, or to the total number of
shares. The total number of shares is just the sum of all the shares assigned
in each share assignment.
