Specifies user-assigned job priority that orders all jobs (from all users) in a queue.
properties
Valid values for priority are any integers between 1 and MAX_USER_PRIORITY (configured in lsb.params, displayed by bparams -l). Job priorities that are not valid are rejected. LSF and queue administrators can specify priorities beyond MAX_USER_PRIORITY.
The job owner can change the priority of their own jobs. LSF and queue administrators can change the priority of all jobs in a queue.
Job order is the first consideration to determine job eligibility for dispatch. Jobs are still subject to all scheduling policies regardless of job priority. Jobs are scheduled based first on their queue priority first, then job priority, and lastly in first-come first-served order.
User-assigned job priority can be configured with automatic job priority escalation to automatically increase the priority of jobs that have been pending for a specified period of time (JOB_PRIORITY_OVER_TIME in lsb.params).
When absolute priority scheduling is configured in the submission queue (APS_PRIORITY in lsb.queues), the user-assigned job priority is used for the JPRIORITY factor in the APS calculation.
