Re: [HTCondor-users] Accounting Groups

[Iain Bradford Steers <iain.steers@xxxxxxx>]

Accounting Groups are the way that HTCondor can assign resources out to schedds/jobs via claims.

They work based on pie-spin and can be specified as either dynamic fractions or whole numbers.

1. The recommendation is that you add the accounting groups in a new file within /etc/condor/config.d/. As both condor_config and condor_config.local can be overridden by rpm/condor upgrade.

2. The accounting group can be specified in the job submit file using accounting_group = ââ. However thereâs no direct concept of group membership for accounting-groups. People usually solve this with SUBMIT_ATTRS on the schedd or by checking membership with a SUBMIT_REQUIREMENT.

3. You could make the START expression for the machine an expression of whether the accounting group.

e.g.

START = (target.AccountingGroup =?= âgroup_target.user.groupâ)

Cheers, Iain
