There are some great tools for assigning discounts or penalties to jobs before they are allocated resources (QOS.UsageFactor, Partition.TRESBillingWeights, etc.).
But what if I want to change the cost of a job after the fact? I might want to avoid penalizing users who spent their allocated resources on jobs which failed due to reasons outside their control (hardware failure, parallel FS glitch, etc.). Or I might want to charge extra for jobs which require node reboots to cleanup afterwards. Either way, I want to be able to adjust how the job affects their current fairshare priority for queued jobs.
Are there any existing solutions for this?
The only solutions I've found so far are:
The official answer I got on the bug is “I don't think what you are looking for is possible with Slurm at the moment.” I’m posting here in hopes that someone else has a creative solution? How do y’all handle this?
Thanks!
