Configure static priority fairshare

About this task

Static priority fairshare assigns resources to the user with the most shares. Resource usage is ignored.

Procedure

To implement static priority fairshare, edit lsb.params and set all the weighting factors that are used in the dynamic priority formula to 0 (zero).

Set CPU_TIME_FACTOR to 0
Set RUN_TIME_FACTOR to 0
Set RUN_JOB_FACTOR to 0
Set COMMITTED_RUN_TIME_FACTOR to 0
Set FAIRSHARE_ADJUSTMENT_FACTOR to 0

The results are: dynamic priority = number_shares / 0.01 (if the denominator in the dynamic priority calculation is less than 0.01, LSF rounds up to 0.01)

Results

If two users compete for resources, the most important user’s job always runs first.
