Re: [HTCondor-users] Affinity of interactive jobs for a particular node?



Very good, thanks for the tip. I found that in our environment this was set to:
(RemoteOwner =?= UNDEFINED) * (KFlops - SlotID - 1.0e10*(Offline=?=True))

I also noticed using condor_status that we have highly variable KFlops within our environment, and that the distribution of jobs indeed matches the rank of kflops (assuming the the machine classad matches the requirements of the job).

Any tips for smoothing the KFlops value when used to calculate NEGOTIATOR_POST_JOB_RANK ?

The result is that we'll have multiple interactive jobs assigned to a single machine, even as htcondor is matching non-interactive jobs in a more distributed manor. Is there anything which can be done to avoid clumping interactive jobs on a single node?

Perhaps just changing NEGOTIATOR_POST_JOB_RANK
(see http://goo.gl/ZHnPhC)  in your condor_config on your central
manager machine (and doing a condor_reconfig of course) to something
random like

   NEGOTIATOR_POST_JOB_RANK = random(10000)

?

There are fancier things done by default in more recent versions of
HTCondor, but I think the above may do the trick for you in v8.0.x..
