Levi Morrison and I have developed a new Slurm prioritization method
that we call LEVEL_BASED. It prioritizes users such that users in an
under-served account will always have a higher fair share factor than
users in an over-served account.
It works very well for us, though I understand that many sites have
different needs. If you're interested, check out the documentation at
https://fsl.byu.edu/documentation/slurm/level_based.php or try it out at
https://github.com/BYUHPC/slurm in the level_based branch.
If you want some of our problems with existing algorithms (as they apply
to our use case), see
http://tech.ryancox.net/2014/06/problems-with-slurm-prioritization.html.
