Re: [Condor-users] Priorities and Dedicated Scheduling

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The parallel scheduler treats the job "priority" value specially.  
Whereas in other universe, the priority is applied strictly between jobs 
belonging to the same user, in the parallel universe, the priority 
applies across all users.  Although this doesn't directly address fair 
sharing, you could use it to get jobs to run in an order other than FIFO.

Keep in mind that you can set the priority at submit time and also later 
via condor_qedit.
