[slurm-users] History of pending jobs

[Glenn (Gedaliah) Wolosh]

I'm interested on getting an idea how long jobs were pending in a particular partition. Is there any magic to sreport or sacct that can generate this info.

I could also use something like:"sreport cluster utilization" broken down by partition.

Any help would be appreciated.

XDMoD can do that for you, but bear in mind that wait/pending time by itself may not be particularly useful.

Consider the extreme scenario in which a user is only allowed to use one node at a time, but submits a thousand one-day jobs. Without any other competition for resources, the average wait/pending time would be five hundred days.

The "topreports" and "slurmacct" tools let you specify partitions, and
also report the average waiting time in the queue, for users and groups:

I hope this helps.
