Re: [Condor-users] Condor Group Drive me Crazy.......

I may have missed a part of the thread or something as I'm not sure what you're trying to have it do in the end.
If you have any of the GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_* parameters set to TRUE that group will end up running more than the quota set if you have free slots. You said it only gets 13 jobs running when you submit that first job. Is that true even after several negotiation cycles??? I'm surprised it wouldn't run more. I see that you have 

GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group_vcs = FALSE
but I don't think that's going to make the top level group_vcs not go above it's 13 if the subgroups have it TRUE. I'm not sure that parameter is really enforced down the hierarchy (sounds like it's not from your experience). Is that why you're saying it shouldn't run more than 13? Because of the setting I quote above?

Hi Joe,
Well yes this is true... When setting the GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_* to FALSE jobs doesn't leap outside the quota limit.
However, Since this configuration use Sub Groups I expect to have dynamic allocation inside the group. 
So in my configuration:

GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs = 13
GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.design_single = 4
GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.design_list = 1
GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.verification_single = 5
GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.verification_list  = 3

The VCS group has limit of 13 slots right?
So when someone from the vcs.verification_single send a Job (queue 30) - and the pool is clean (no jobs at the moment) the number of current running jobs should be 13 (17 in idle) This in fact what happen when I submit the job. But once a send a new job (queue 30) - from the verification_list I would expect that at least 3 jobs will run right away, causing 3 jobs from the vcs.verification_single group to be preempted or killed. However what is happening is that the 13 jobs of the vcs.verification_single group are keep running and 3 something even 4 jobs being added to running state. Leaving me with total of 16-17 running jobs which is not good. 

Any Guess?

I working on this all day without any luck :-(

Thanks

    If you want those groups to be limited to only what the quota has
    you don't want to set these to TRUE do you?

    GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.verification_list  = TRUE
    GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.verification_single = TRUE

    That's telling it that those groups can use any "surplus" slots in
    the pool outside of the quota configuration if no one else is using
    them. If you set those to FALSE doesn't it do what you want?

        Hi Again....

        I'm kind of lost here.
        Enable debug mode and check the logs and still no good.


        I attach the condor.local.conf file ....


        Thanks for the help....

           Hi All
           Here is cut and paste from my condor configuration file:

           GROUP_NAMES = GROUP_VCS, GROUP_VCS.DESIGN_SINGLE,
           GROUP_VCS.DESIGN_LIST, GROUP_VCS.VERIFICATION_SINGLE,
           GROUP_VCS.VERIFICATION_LIST

           GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs = 13
           GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.design___single = 4
           GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.design___list = 1
           GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.__verification_single = 5
           GROUP_QUOTA_group_vcs.__verification_list  = 3


           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS = FALSE

           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP_group_vcs = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group_vcs = FALSE

           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP_group_vcs.__design_single = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.design_single = TRUE

           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP_group_vcs.__design_list = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.design_list = TRUE

           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP_group_vcs.__verification_single = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.verification_single = TRUE

           GROUP_AUTOREGROUP_group_vcs.__verification_list  = FALSE
           GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS_group___vcs.verification_list  = TRUE


           I have now 2 submission files, each with 100 Jobs....
           submit the first file name: verification_single.sub start
        processing
           13 jobs as expected (with the
           group group_vcs.verification_single specified in the submit file)

           so far everything is good...
           after 5 min I now submitting the next file
           name verification_list.sub (with the
           group group_vcs.verification_list specified in the submit file)

           Expected results are that at least 4 jobs from
        verification_list.sub
           will start run and total of 13 fobs will run in the cluster.
            All other 187 jobs should be idle consider none of them as
        finished
           (Each submission include 100 jobs).

           However the real results is that I get 18 jobs running which
        is not
           good! Why? Why? Why? Why?
           I just don't understand it.

           I also enable NEGOTIATOR_CONSIDER_PREEMPTION since I would
        like to
           use PREEMPTION.
           I would expect that from the 13 running process from
           the verification_single.sub submission, once I submit
           the  verification_list.sub, 4 jobs will be PREEMPT...

           Takes for any help....
           Sassy
