Thanks Erik, I'll try setting the job rank. Cheers, Szabolcs
One approach that may help you is to use "job-side" rank expression that is aligned to the "slot-side" rank expression. That will induce jobs to favor the same slots that would favor them: http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.8/2_5Submitting_Job.html#1981 You can even make this automatic, using APPEND_RANK: http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.8/3_3Configuration.html#19896
