Cross-queue Fairshare
3 In all the slave queues listed in FAIRSHARE_QUEUES, define all queue
values as desired.
For example:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue2
PRIORITY = 40
NICE = 20
UJOB_LIMIT = 4
PJOB_LIMIT = 2
End Queue
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue3
PRIORITY = 50
NICE = 10
PREEMPTION = PREEMPTIVE
QJOB_LIMIT = 10
UJOB_LIMIT = 1
PJOB_LIMIT = 1
End Queue
Controlling job dispatch order in cross-queue fairshare
DISPATCH_ORDER
parameter
(lsb.queues)
Priority range in
cross-queue
fairshare
Jobs from equal
priority queues
Use DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE in the master queue to define an ordered
cross-queue fairshare set. DISPATCH_ORDER indicates that jobs are dispatched
according to the order of queue priorities, not user fairshare priority.
By default, the range of priority defined for queues in cross-queue fairshare
cannot be used with any other queues. The priority of queues that are not part
of the cross-queue fairshare cannot fall between the priority range of crossqueue
fairshare queues.
For example, you have 4 queues: queue1, queue2, queue3, and queue4. You
configure cross-queue fairshare for queue1, queue2, and queue3, and assign
priorities of 30, 40, 50 respectively. The priority of queue4 (which is not part
of the cross-queue fairshare) cannot fall between 30 and 50, but it can be any
number up to 29 or higher than 50. It does not matter if queue4 is a fairshare
queue or FCFS queue.
If DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE is set in the master queue, queues that are not
part of the ordered cross-queue fairshare can have any priority. Their priority
can fall within the priority range of cross-queue fairshare queues and they can
be inserted between two queues using the same fairshare tree. In the example
above, queue4 can have any priority, including a priority falling between the
priority range of the cross-queue fairshare queues (30-50).
◆
◆
If two or more non-fairshare queues have the same priority, their jobs
are dispatched first-come, first-served based on submission time or job ID
as if they come from the same queue.
If two or more fairshare queues have the same priority, jobs are
dispatched in the order the queues are listed in lsb.queues.
