Hi Guys,

         We have 3 htcondorÂexecutor nodes with 8 cores each. So, we have 24 slots available to run jobs.Â

Our requirement is to reserve at least 1 core on each executor node for highÂpriority jobs, so that 3 slots will remain available for all users to run their high priority jobs.Â

Job priority can't be used here because a user can set priority only for his/her jobs.Â

And userÂpriority also doesn't serve purpose because we need everyone to run his / her high priority job on thoseÂreserve cores.Â

So, please let me know how I can achieveÂthis.Â

Hi Gagan,

Are your execute nodes configured to use static slots (this is the default) or partitionable slots?

If the former, perhaps this HOWTO will show you how to do what you want -

Hope the above helps,
