[HTCondor-users] Controlling Jobs - Disabling/preventing a job from being suspended

[Andrey Kuznetsov <akuznet1@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The nodes are setup to suspend jobs based on various conditions.

I'm wondering is it possible to pass an argument or setting in condor submit file that disables SUSPEND mode?

I have a job that eats up a lot of RAM and cannot be checkpointed, so I want to make sure that it finishes running no matter.

I also do not want to modify the node's suspend settings unless it's to add a conditional statement that I can then manipulate from the condor submit file. (don't know if that's possible)

I tried setting the universe from vanilla to java, I don't really know the difference except I read that java universe cannot be suspended.

Please recommend the best way to submit certain jobs that cannot be suspended and preferably not killed/evicted.

START = ifThenElse($(DESKTOP),((((KeyboardIdle > $(StartIdleTime)) && ((SlotID <= $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE)) && (SlotID <= $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE)))) && ($(CPUIdle) || (State != "Unclaimed" && State != "Owner"))) || ((SlotID > $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE)) && (SlotID > $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE)))),TRUE)

WANT_SUSPEND = TRUE

WANT_VACATE  = ($(ActivationTimer) > 10 * $(MINUTE))

SUSPEND = ifThenElse($(DESKTOP),(($(KeyboardBusy) || $(ConsoleBusy)) && ((SlotID <= $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE)) || (SlotID <= $(SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_CONSOLE))) || ((CpuBusyTime > 2 * $(MINUTE)) && $(ActivationTimer) > 90)),FALSE)

CONTINUE = ($(CPUIdle) && ($(ActivityTimer) > 10) && (KeyboardIdle > $(ContinueIdleTime)))

PREEMPT = ifThenElse($(DESKTOP),((Activity == "Suspended" && ($(ActivityTimer) > $(MaxSuspendTime))) || $(SUSPEND)),FALSE)

KILL = ifThenElse($(DESKTOP),($(ActivityTimer) > $(MaxVacateTime)),FALSE)

Thanks
