[Condor-users] Suspend and resume jobs by on demand

["Rick Lan" <Rick.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

 

I was wondering if someone has some experience/suggestion for this following setup. We have Windows machines so checkpointing is not supported. Preemption is off because we don't want loose running progress. Is there a way to suspend running jobs (usually takes days) to run newly submitted jobs (usually takes mins/hours) and to resume suspended jobs once these short jobs finish?

 

I was thinking that I could set NUM_CPUS to double the actual number of CPUs. Set STARTD policy in a way that when half of CPUs is running a job, the other half can't match to a job. When short jobs comes, either identified by accounting groups or a config variable, suspend running jobs and run short jobs on the other half of CPUs. Is this configuration feasible?

 

Thanks

Rick
